Hi<br><br>I am getting a file status code 96 when opening a variable length sequential file<br><br>What does thew error mean. Is there an online manual for file status codes<br><br>Regards<br>Ian Boyes
According to the VSCOBOL 2 '85 standard 96 is an Implementor defined condition for VSAM files only which states that 'No DD statement specified for this file'.
If you are using a VSAM file rather than a bog-standard sequential file, check your JCL to ensure that the file defined in the program has a correcponding DD statement with the correct Label.
