There is a COMMA after the DISP parm. take that out.

cheers

the extra comma would make the job NOT RUN - JCL ERROR. The job has run so this is a partial cut and paste and maybe the clue has not been pasted? I'm not that familiar with VSAM and COBOL so cannot help.

suma,

Ok The error you are getting is because your pgm is coded to access the alternate index. If you are planning to use the alternate index you need to provide path in the JCL.

Search the forum for all the words "alternate path" and you will find a very good example

Thanks Kolasu for your help..

your suggestion holds good.. Here the real problem was this VSAM file was creating a DD statement for itself.

After looking into the spool I found that there I have to use assigned DD name.
Can anybody tell me why this happened!!??

and as per suggestion I used PATH dataset, now I am getting error code 95!.
Please help in this regard.

Thanks
suma.

suma,

1. Learn to spell my name correctly.
2. show us the JCL where are you allocated the path to a ddname.
3. Show us all the error messages
