Cause

The file in message IEC161I is empty.  The IEC161I messages indicate this.  The CAG8001E messages will only happen if CA1 is install and active.

The Easytrieve option MTVSERR is set to Y.

Resolution

Set the option MTVSERR to N. This will allow Easytrieve to successfully run even if a VSAM file is empty.
