The path that does SVC 99 of the output file works fine It’s the path that uses tso ALLOC that gives me the s0c9 All the other logic is the same before I submit the job that populates the output file I do a free fi and when I use SVC 99 I have text unit closeua meaning when I closed the file it

Barry, Looks like you are on the right track with regard to XPLINK being the difference. 31-bit COBOL does not have XPLINK support, so I can't test that, but 64-bit COBOL uses only XPLINK. If you try to do a static link of a 64-bit XPLINK application to the 64-bit stub in SCSFSTUB it fails: I

Hello Alain, GRS doesn't support ALLOWAUTOALT (via it's IXLCONN request). The ISGLOCK str is purely a LOCK STR, it does not contain any record elements, so it will never fill. If the structure is undersized, the worse thing that will happen is that your FALSE CONTENTION rate will increase.
