Dynamic allocation of Non-RLS file G9XTO failed. Return code

Hi Earl,

Actually GMXT is the control card data. but the region has multiple file sets. so the GMXT file will be derived as G9XT for fileset 9. Similary other files will be derived as G91A, G91C, G91S, and G9XU. No problems with these files whatsoever..only G9XT fails.

And the strange thing is when i execute this program as a stand alone program, every file gets open enable properly includign G9XT. But when this job runs as part of the daily batch only this prblm occurs.

yeah i can try debugging this prog in cics using CEDF or CEDX..will try that out..
thanks

looks like you will to start reviewing cod, this is bug in either the batch program or the online program, or both.

good luck,

Earl

Hi Earl,

sure am going to that.

but i have to debug it while the job runs as part of the batch. becuase in my unit testing it goes thu fine with out any issues. so no point. If there is a bug in the batch or online program, it wud have failed in unit test also..rite?

nyways, will try debugging and will let you know the result..

thanks again

sometimes unit testing does not catch every possibility.

you shold be able to spot the problem within a few minutes
using a debugger.

do you have access to source code for both batch and online program?

Sorry to interfere in this discussion. I was reading the whole discussion and I also got a similar issue in my batch. The error message came from DFHFC0952 return code 4 reason code 0210 opening a file in CICS.

Just check once in your previous batch step, if there is any SORT steps involved which hold the file and did not release. Resolution can be if you can split your job into two. (run your open step in another job after other operation on the file is done). Make sure your file is free to allocate the dataset in the CICS region. Let me know the results.
