All, We are running individual CICS transactions. Each increments a counter for a key that is written to a VSAM file. This file Consists of a primary index as well as 6 alternate indexes. It encounters a response code of 21 after roughly 3,000 writes. It seems To improve in the number of successful writes with the removal of the AIX's - one at a time.
Return code 21 is described as a 'sequence error' on write (notably sequential). These writes are occurring in sequence but this doesn't matter because the file is indexed. Could this be related to storage or the VSAM definitions? If anyone has encountered a situation like this or can make a suggestion, it would be much appreciated. The internet only describes the 21 but offers no reasons or resolutions for it. Thanks... John P.S.
