If the following items are inconsistent, an OPEN statement in your program might not run successfully:

• The fixed file attributes of a file from the data set label
• The fixed file attributes specified in the JCL DD statement for a file
• The attributes specified for that file in the SELECT and FD statements of your COBOL program

Inconsistencies in the attributes for file organization, record format (fixed or variable), the code set, or record length result in a file status code 39, and the OPEN statement fails.
