hi,
Our job is always abending stating that file is used by other user.our analysis failed to identify the contending job or user.We felt using a Verfiy Statement will tell us really it is used by other user/job or file is not properly closed by some other job/User.

VERIFY FILE(OUTDD)
IF LASTCC = 04 THEN
SET MAXCC = 00
REPRO
INFILE(INDD)
OUTFILE(OUTDD)
REPLACE
IF LASTCC = 04 THEN
SET MAXCC = 00



this is the message we receive.


AMS101I START FASTVSAM EXECUTION


AMS250I FASTVSAM NOGO, CODE = 10 - VERIFY COMMAND NOT SUPPORTED BY FASTVSAM


AMS160I PASSING CONTROL TO OLDAMS ...


VERIFY FILE(OUTDD)

IDC0001I FUNCTION COMPLETED, HIGHEST CONDITION CODE WAS 0



IDC0002I IDCAMS PROCESSING COMPLETE. MAXIMUM CONDITION CODE WAS 0
AMS119P PERFORMANCE: .60 ELAPSED, .01 TCB CPU
AMS189I END OF COMMAND, CONDITION CODE = 0

IF LASTCC = 04 THEN -
SET MAXCC = 00

REPRO -

OUTFILE(OUTDD) -
REPLACE

We have a doubt whether some other job ran before opened the file and left it without closing.

A return code of 168 means that The data set is not available for the type of processing specified, or an attempt was made to open a reusable data set with the reset option while another user had the data set open.

Hi Kolusu,
Whether this error could occur when some user or job failed to close the file due to some error that hapened in some other job.
