I have a VSAM that was being used in a job. While the vsam was being updated the job abended. Now whenever I try to use that VSAM ir gives me a contention. I tried IDCAMS VERIFY but it didn't work. Can some one suggest me a way to release that file.

That's great! Looks like you will have to run it again to provide the requested information, doesn't it?
