And 2) is it decimal (90) or hex (144)? 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. > >Chuck > >-----Original Message----- >From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Behalf Of Dave Kopischke >Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2007 3:00 PM >To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU >Subject: Re: Access Method Services messages? > >On Thu, 10 May 2007 14:15:39 -0400, Jack Kelly wrote: > >><snip> >>COBOL job that gets a return code of 90 when it attempts to >>write a record to a VSAM file. >><snip> >> >>generally all of vsam rc are explained in msgIDC3009I.
