Could they try another utility like SORT on the file to see if the same error occurs?
When the error occurs, do they rerun the job and still get the same error? Is it always shop written programs that get the IEC020I error? Do these programs have a common subroutine reading files? Does the error occur when there is data or when there is no data?
