However, two questions I have is 1) what is the 90, reason code or return code? And 2) is it decimal (90) or hex (144)? Good luck.

If the status code is what the COBOL program is getting, that is a COBOL and not a VSAM code. There will be nothing in the JCL listing since COBOL is trapping and processing the error. In order to get the VSAM codes follow the instructions in the COBOL manual which also have been posted in other messages here. Good luck.

Thanks in advance, Patrick Lyon First, I would look at the COBOL Programmers Guide chapter on Processing VSAM Files, the section Handling Errors in VSAM files. Here you will see you can specify 3 file status data items. Give that a try. The second and third file status items correspond to the under-the-covers VSAM values; add a DISPLAY of these items after the write if file status is on 00 Second, go to the doc DFSMS Macro Instructions for Data Sets; In Chapter 3, under the section Record Management Return and Reason codes is where you find the values and their meanings, such as they are.

Re: Access Method Services messages?
Pat, This takes me back a bit. A 90 was usually an Open Request failure for an empty VSAM file. I believe you get it on a close of an unopened file also. Perhaps return codes from OPEN ACB would be a good start.
