It would be easier to give a clue if you give us the SELECT statement and the file used in JCL.
Looks like there is some problem in file defn.

Sandip.

dear sandip,
my select statement is:
SELECT FILE1 ASSIGN TO DDNAME1
ORGANIZATION IS INDEXED
ACCESS MODE IS RANDOM
RECORD KEY IS NUM

It seems your cobol code is accessing a VSAM file. a KSDS or ESDS I believe, you should define as a VSAM file and not as a PS file (difference is in the access method used by MVS).
