My habit with VSAM is to use the second COBOL FILE STATUS variable to get the actual VSAM return and reason codes. Often that is the only way to determine the actual reason.
What comes to mind in your case is that the RECORDSIZE on your AIX is too small to record all the base keys associated with a single AIX key. This can cause a 44. Normally these keys are either ALL SPACES or ALL LOW-VALUES or maybe ALL HIGH-VALUES.
