Hi
We Close/Open VSAM files during batch run through JCL (example F CICSP20,'CEMT S FILE(DEAxxxx) OPE').
Even though the Job gives return code Zero and files are usually opened most of the time. For some unknown reasons, a few files are not getting opened with this approach.
There are atlest 100 files that are opened through Batch JCl and its difficult to know the VSAM file status for each file through "CEMT IN FILE(DEAxxx)" command in CICS

CICS region are shutdown/restrated usually only once in a week.

Can some one suggest any other way of checking the file status and Open the files if they are not Already opened.
Thanks
Vijay
