I've got a QSAM DCB. It's about 99% hard-coded, not built on the fly, and it
works more than 99% of the time, so I'm pretty confident it's correct. It's
unlikely that the DCB has been overlaid, because it's early in the game, and
again, it works more than 99% of the time. (Yes, it could happen.)
I'm getting RC=8 from the OPEN, with no messages in the JES log. It's a
To my knowledge and major disappointment, OPEN produces no non-zero
return codes; its only failure indication is an ABEND Sx13. What
am I missing?
I have never seen a non-zero RC from OPEN for a non-VSAM data set
either, though I suppose they might have changed the processing for
SMS-managed data sets in some ways that I have not experienced yet.
Or it's possible that the "double OPEN" case gives a return code, as
I've ever tried that sequence.
I have seen one non-ABEND failure case. If the specified DD name does
not exist then the OPEN seems to work, but DCBOFLGS is then off.
