Hi,

I am using a KSDS as input and output in my program. The program first reads from the file, evaluates certain records and replaces a string and then closes the file.

When I execute the code, i get file status 41 which says 'Trying to open a file which is already opened'
I have used only one close and one open statement in my program.

Please help.

Thanks.

Ayush, is that file used by some online application ? If not, did you try to do a VERIFY on the file.
