Issue/Introduction
Why am I getting an S013 abend under release 11.6 for not having DCB information for a dataset?
Environment
Resolution
1. CA Easytrieve 11.6-c and 11.6 NFM act differently when it comes to
the opening up of files within the Easytrieve program.
2. With release 11.6-c, all files within the program are opened before processing starts.
3. With CA Easytrieve 11.6 NFM, files are opened as they are referenced.
4. Also files are opened in a different order with CA Easytrieve 11.6 NFM.
5. With CA Easytrieve 11.6-c, files are opened top down in the program.
6. With CA Easytrieve 11.6 NFM, they are opened not only as they are processed, but
how they are referenced in the CA Easytrieve JOB statement.
Additional Information
In compatibility mode, CA Easytrieve did the OPEN, thus causing a blocksize value to be assigned to the file.
Easytrieve r11.x was coded that way to only open files as they are processed.
Please see page 22 of the Release Notes as this is a known, documented difference.
