Hi,
I've a program used in two jobs. There are 6 VSAM Files in use in this program. In first job, it uses all 6 VSAM files. In second job it uses only 3 VSAM files and other 3 files are marked as dummy, for the second job.
In second job, when the program try to open the dummy files it is giving the file status 35. I am not sure why it giving this status. Can't we use DD DUMMY for VSAM files which are not required.
Please guide me .
Thank you.
