Anyone any ideas about this: We have a VSAM KSDS defined to COBOL as VARYING from 586 to 2500. The file is updated by writing new records or rewriting old ones. We occasionally get a File status 44 when Writing a new record We have checked the record length and confirm that it is 586, we also use displays to DISPLAY LENGTH OF so that we can confirm that the program at run time has the correct record length. Anyone any ideas as to any "features" or anything we may be encountering here? We're at a bit of a loss as to where to look next.
The problem is spurious in the sense that when it happens it's a different record being written but other records of the minumum length have already been written in the same run. However once a record fails it seems to always fail so we have been able to recreate in test so any suggestions as to debugging ideas would be welcome. Note the RPL is RC=8 and Reason 6C which is consistant with status 44.
