Martin,

What do you mean by opening a VSAM File for Output and closing it ? Do you want to copy records to a VSAM File and complete the operation , if yes i had posted a JCL earlier .

How about just a TSO VERFIY ?

Cogito-Ergo-Sum,

The deal here is to do it through a JCL. I know there is an option in INSYNC which can intialize the vsam file.

Martin,
You can invoke the TSO command through batch. Such as,
Code:

//STEP1   EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01
//SYSTSIN DD *
 VERIFY 'a.dataset.name'
/*
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
