IGZ0205W   An OPEN failure occurred for file file-name in program program-name because the SMSVSAM server was not available. The file was closed.

Explanation

COBOL encountered a SMSVSAM server not available error return while performing OPEN, I/O, or control block testing of a VSAM data set in RLS mode. For this error condition VSAM requires that the file be closed, opened, and positioned before resubmitting requests. Look for possible VSAM error messages in the job log.

System action

No system action is performed.

Programmer response

COBOL only performs a close of the file. Resolve the SMSVSAM server not available condition and resubmit the run or remove the RLS keyword specification from the DD statement.
