Its allright, year 2015 is still running AFAIK. ;-D

Just like Lizette, I'm asking too: Please post your DCB and DCBE and your OPEN 
macro and your dataset attributes. Also post AMODE, RMODE, RENT, etc.

On what z/OS level are you? See also Greg's important remark.

When you assembled your program, did you see any warning message(s) during 
assembly/binding?

Show us your attempts + messages.

This is WAD, but please post the abends too, especially the x13 abends. The 
OPEN just tries to use allocated storage and continues anyways with 
*interesting* and *undesirable* effects and results. Anyways, the book just 
says the result is "Unpredictable. "

What you can do is, try this to test out OPEN result (bit 3): 

      TM DCBOFLGS,DCBOFOPN                              
      BZ ERRORRTN       (Branch to your error routine)  

Or show us the Register 15 contents just after OPEN.

What is that requirements needed for that product? Here I mean, what should the 
environment be for your exit, like AMODE, RMODE, limitations, etc.

I believe others can show you how to setup a SLIP so you can take it up with 
your vendor and IBM.
