The IBM docs are either out of date or unclear ( or unfindable (by me)!) any ideas most welcome! >> Did you try LOOKAT? _http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/zos/bkserv/lookat/_ (http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/zos/bkserv/lookat/) | IBM0236S ONCODE=oncode-value The UNDEFINEDFILE condition was raised | because the operating system was unable to OPEN the file Subcode1= | sc1 Subcode2=sc2 (FILE= or ONFILE= file-name). | Explanation: The operating system or access method encountered an error | during the open process. Subcode1 indicates why the file could not be | opened. Subcode2, if not zero, indicates the return code ( in hexadecimal | ) given by the operating system or access method. Subcode2 information is | mainly used by IBM support when diagnosing problems. The meaning of the | Subcode1 values are as follows: 1. | 50 - A non-existent ISAM file is being opened for input. 2. | 51 - An unexpected error occurred when opening an ISAM file. Subcode2 | gives the return code from ISAM. 3. | 52, 53 - An unexpected error occurred when opening a native or | REGIONAL(1) file. 4. | 54 - A non-existent BTRIEVE file is being opened for input. 5. | 55 - An unexpected error occurred when opening a BTRIEVE file. | Subcode2 gives the return code from BTRIEVE. 6. | 56 - An unexpected error occurred when opening a DDM file. 7. | 57,58 - An unexpected error occurred when opening a DDM sequential, | DDM relative or DDM indexed file. Subcode2 gives the return code from | DDM. 8. | 59 - An attempt was made to open a file that was already open. 9. | 60 - A file of invalid type is being opened. An example of this is | opening a VSAM file under UNIX System Services. VSAM files are not | supported under UNIX System Services. 10. | 66 - Open of a VSAM file failed. Subcode2 gives the feedback code. | The ONCODE associated with this message is 93. | Programmer Response: For Subcodes 50 and 54, ensure the input file | exists. For Subcode 60, ensure the file being opened has a file type that | is supported by the operating system under which the program is being run. | For all the other subcodes, call IBM Support for assistance. | System Action: The ERROR condition is raised. | Symbolic Feedback Code: IBM07C ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
