Failoure messages from OPEN?

Now all four programs abend (one SEC6, 2 S0C7s, one S0C4).

The SEC6 might be legitimate (I don't recall what it is; the S0C4 and
S0C7 might be the results of doing a GET after the OPEN failed; the
code should be testing DCBOFOPN. The S0C7 sounds strange. In all
cases, including the S322, I'd suggested taking a look at the code
where it is failing.

Any clues, insights, etc. appreciated.

Look at R1 and R14. The IPCS WHERE command is your friend.

HFS access changes

2005-08-09 Thread Steve Comstock

Did I miss something?

I had four programs (one each in Assembler, COBOL,
C, and PL/I) that access a sequential file in a
classic, traditional way. When I changed the JCL
to point to the same file copied over into the
HFS (use PATH and PATHOPTS, remove DSN and DISP),
it used to work the same. Now all four programs
abend (one SEC6, 2 S0C7s, one S0C4).

The difference: last time tested under z/OS 1.4,
today under z/OS 1.6.

Has something changed? Or is it my imagination
they worked before?

Any clues, insights, etc. appreciated.

Kind regards,

-Steve Comstock

Further information after further experiments:

In fact, the problem goes away if I include all
the parameters FILEDATA=BINARY,LRECL=nn,RECFM=F,BLKSIZE=nn

except for PL/I; that still fails; OPEN seems to go OK,
but the data is never really accessed; I get an infinite
loop until a S322.

Kind regards,
