Sujatharamana,

Are you sure that the file specified as the File1 actually exists.? You would get the OPEN/CLOSE FAILED message if your file was not defined.

Try this:

Sujatharamana,

Adding to Kolusu's explanation, if the file that you are trying to open in the CICS region is being used in another CICS region or if somebody else is using this file you will still get a OPEN/CLOSE FAILED message.

Prakal.
