Re: QSAM DCB not restored by CLOSE following S013-18 on OPEN

Have you checked DCBOFLGS? If the DCB is not marked as OPEN, it may be unreasonable to expect CLOSE to do anything for you. This would account for why you see the same whether you issue the CLOSE or not. You may be expected to clean up your own DCB in an ABEND scenario. Have you checked that

unreasonable to expect CLOSE to do anything for you I hear you. I suspected as much already. OTOH, the DFSMS manual says what it says below about CLOSE unconditionally; it doesn't say if DCBOFLGS is on. Have you checked... Yes, it works correctly in all other cases that I have tested. you

Thanks. I always do an Ignore (MVI 3(R1),4) and branch to the address passed in R14. I do the Ignore without checking whether it is an allowed option (it is in this case) on the theory that if it's not, what am I going to do? - Tell QSAM to proceed with the ABEND, which is what QSAM does anyway

Does any remember DRMS? or use it. A requesting jobstep puts a filename into a queue, then ends immediately. The master part of DRMS runs periodically to backup all of the data, and vault the tapes. I am looking for a replacement method of backing up data without elongating the jobstep. What
