So, if you provide more details it will help. Is there an SVC Dump? If not, set a slip trap.
Are there any other abends after the IEC999I? COD, C03 or other? Can you tell if your storage for the DCB may have been freed by the process before closing? Can you show us the Code for the DCB having the issue? Are you using subroutines to handle the open/close/read of this DCB? Are you perhaps falling out of your process and ending before closing? Have you checked out IEC999I hints from IBM? http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg3S1000442 Technote (FAQ) Question The answers to questions on debugging IEC999I error messages. Cause 1) What's the text of the message normally look like? 2) How do I find the failing module? 3) How do I interpret the DEBADDR vs the WORKAREA in the message? 4) Is there always an IEC999I message when there is a C03 abend? 5) Why is the DSN sometimes unavailable?
