Hi Phani,

This abend usual will get if DCB parameters of files are different or one of your file reached EOF and your program is trying to read.

You can get exact error message from your SDSF.

If you search with U4038 you will get more hits in the forums.

Regards,
Chandra

Chandra,

I know the reasons for this ABEND.

Possible reasons:

1) You create JCL to test a COBOL program and you accidentally change a DDNAME that is used by the program. You submit the job and it abends with a U4038.

2) Mismatching record-length to the physical file's record length.

But in my case none of the above mentioned reasons are valid.

vkphani,

You need to post the message ID instead of message text. The message ID starts with IEFnnnI which in your case I believe is IEF450I. Also look at JESMSGLG which actually gives you the exact abend code.

Hope this helps...

Cheers

Kolusu

Kolusu,

I got the clue. it is because of one empty file being used in the job.
I have deleted that file and the job went successfully.
You are right. The message Id is IEF450I.
Thanks a lot for your help.
