Hi,

I m trying to Open CICS VSAM file using my cobol program.

Below is the code.

Move DFHVAL (update) to ws-upd.

Exec CICS
Set file(ws-opn)
Enablestatus (ws-opn)
Updatestatus(ws-upd)

End-exec.

But I m getting compilation error.

Please 🙏.

In CICS , you don’t have you open any VSAM file, it should be opened already.

Refer this to see how it’s done if needed to be done.

Please copy paste the errors going forward as screenshots consumes great amount of space. You can look for CICS region job jeslogs for more details on this error.

Please look at the Manual here to see the correct syntax. You need to use at least one option but again reread what I said above.
