Programmer response
For QSAM and VSAM files, make sure that the ddname is properly defined for the file by specifying a ddname for the file setting an environment variable with the same name as the ddname to identify the file. For line sequential files, make sure that the file is properly defined by setting an environment variable with the same name as the file name to identify the file using an absolute pathname.
