IGZ0204W   A file attribute mismatch was detected. File file-name in program program-name was defined as RECORDING MODE recording-mode and the file specified in the ASSIGN clause did not contain the same attribute.

Explanation

The RECORDING MODE specified in the program file description did not match the data control block fields of the data set associated with the ASSIGN clause. The OPEN statement failed.

System action

If a file status was specified, no system action is performed. If a file status field was not specified, the program is terminated and message IGZ0035S is generated.

Programmer response

Check the data control block fields of the actual data set to verify that the RECORDING MODE matches. The most common cause of this error is conflicting fixed and variable record length data set attributes.
