What did you use to define and create the file?

waitling,

Did you create an entry in FCT table for the file you created?

Might be a share options VSAM definition problem, or program usage problem, or a real live I/O error.

Check the Jeslog of the CICS region you're running in. Go to the approximate time in the Jeslog, and look for DFHFCnnnn messages. These will indicate what nature of your "IOERR".

That's all I got. If you see some messages for your file, post them up in this thread.

Hi shaqnwrx

thx for your attention!
i thought i had got the answer.
actually, the del/def/init VSAM file testfl at a step of a job , and exci link a online program to set it open at the following step of the same job.
maybe i should not take all the actions in a job.
am i right?!
however , if i'm right , another question rises. after the steps of del/def/init a VSAM file , but before the job done , what is the status of this file?why should i not set it open in the following step?

[dbzTHEdinosauer]

Is it enabled?

yes , it is .
however , i'll set it open and enabled if it is not enabled.

[shagnwrx]

It must be enabled, otherwise he'd get an AEXL abend.

Waitling, were you able to look at the Jes joblog for the CICS region? Also, post up the joblog for your batch job.

sorry, i can't access to the Jes joblog.
well , to better understand , i discribe the process of my test that day:
first , i wrote just one job to del/def/init a VSAM file(named testfl) and then to call online program to open it . as everyone of you see , IOERR.
then , i splited the job into two, one for del/def/init , the other for open, this time , it was ok.
so i think the key is that i should not do all the actions in just one job.
but why? i don't know.i just take it as a guildline from then on.
this is my question, i have posted it in the previous thread:
"however , if i'm right , another question rises. after the steps of del/def/init a VSAM file , but before the job done , what is the status of this file?why should i not set it open in the following step?"

If I understand what I read, my guess is that the batch job might still have it enqued, preventing CICS from getting it.....

but i can't open it in my program with the cics set file open,the
return resp is 17(IOERR).

not sure what you mean by this. is this a CICS program or Batch.

if you are trying to issue CEMT commands from within a Batch cobol
program, not possible, unless you use something like BatchCICS-Connect
vendor product. go to www.batchcics.com
