If you have QW, do QW STATUS.

6.1.8.9.1 File status key
same info
Underlying problem is probably the programmer didn't define and display
the second status "field" which shows VSAM rc/fdbk.
4.2.13 FILE STATUS clause © Copyright IBM Corp. 1991,
2004
Topic lines 1 to 36
of 76
The FILE STATUS clause monitors the execution of each input-output
operation for the file.
When the FILE STATUS clause is specified, the system moves a value into
the file status key data item after each input-output operation that
explicitly or implicitly refers to this file. The value indicates the
status of execution of the statement. (See the file status key
description
under "Common processing facilities" in topic 6.1.8.9.)
data-name-1
The file status key data item can be defined in the
working-storage, local-storage, or linkage sections as either
of
the following:
A two-character alphanumeric item
A two-character numeric data item, with explicit or
implicit
USAGE IS DISPLAY. It is treated as an alphanumeric item.
data-name-1 must not contain the PICTURE symbol 'P'.
data-name-1 can be qualified.
The file status key data item must not be variably located;
that
is, the data item cannot follow a data item that contains an
OCCURS DEPENDING ON clause.
data-name-8
Must be defined as a group item of 6 bytes in the
working-storage section or linkage section of the data
division.
Specify data-name-8 only if the file is a VSAM file (that is,
ESDS, KSDS, RRDS).
