Massimo, I have not been able to reproduce your problem, but I am almost certainly not doing exactly what you are doing.
When I open a COBOL 2.1 [INDEXED DYNAMIC] file for input, I get input processing 1, output processing 0; when I open it for output, I get input processing 0, output processing 1; and when I open it for update I get input processing 1, output processing 1. What kind of processing had been done on this file when the SMP record you show was cut?
