Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Introduction

Many COBOL programs access sequential files or VSAM Keyed-Sequential-Data-Sets (or Indexed Files). After attempting to access a file or data set it is possible to obtain the status of the attempted access.

Note: A list of the possible FILE-STATUS codes along with a brief description may be found at http://www.simotime.com/vsmfsk01.htm

To define and use the file status information the following is required. A FILE STATUS field needs to be specified within the SELECT statement of a COBOL program.

           SELECT QSAM0080-FILE
                  ASSIGN       to QSAM0080
                  ORGANIZATION is SEQUENTIAL
                  ACCESS MODE  is SEQUENTIAL
                  FILE STATUS  is QSAM0080-STATUS.

Once the FILE STATUS is specified within the SELECT statement it is necessary to define the FILE STATUS field in WORKING STORAGE.

       01  QSAM0080-STATUS.
           05  QSAM0080-STAT1      pic X.
           05  QSAM0080-STAT2      pic X.

The FILE-STATUS field may then be used as follows.

           if FILE-STATUS = '00'
               display 'Access is successful'
           else
               display 'Access FAILED...'
           end-if

In many situations the File Status (QSAM0080-STATUS) will contain two digits and it is easy to display. However, if the first status byte is a "9" then the second byte is a BINARY value that may contain x'00' through x'FF' or 0-255. When the first byte is a "9" the status code is usually referred to as an extended file status code. This requires a little more work to display. Once the status code is known the programmer or system operator will need to find the reference material to get a verbal description of the file status code.

This suite of programs contains two examples. Both examples will show how to convert the two byte file status code that may contain binary data to a four byte numeric value that may be displayed. Also, both examples will show how to add a brief, one-line description about the status code.

The first example contains two COBOL programs. The first is a demonstration program that generates various two byte, file status codes. The second COBOL routine does the actual conversion to a four byte, numeric value that may be displayed. A brief description of the file status code is also provided.

The second example will create a sequential file with a list of the file status codes and a brief, one-line description. This example contains two COBOL programs. The first is a demonstration program that calls the COBOL conversion routine and then writes to the file of Status Codes. The COBOL conversion routine does the actual conversion from a two-byte field to a four byte, numeric value with a one-line description.

The examples included in this suite of programs will run on an IBM mainframe with OS/390 or a PC with Windows and Micro Focus Mainframe Express. Two JCL members are provided for this purpose.


We have made a significant effort to ensure the documents and software technologies are correct and accurate. We reserve the right to make changes without notice at any time. The function delivered in this version is based upon the enhancement requests from a specific group of users. The intent is to provide changes as the need arises and in a timeframe that is dependent upon the availability of resources.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Call Interface and Sample Output

The following statements are used to call the file status conversion routine.

           move '35'       to FSPA-STATUS-CODE-02
           call 'SIMOSTAT' using FILE-STATUS-PASS-AREA

The pass area uses the following fields.

       01  FILE-STATUS-PASS-AREA.
           05  FSPA-STATUS-CODE-02     PIC X(2).
           05  FSPA-STATUS-CODE-04     PIC X(4).
           05  FSPA-TEXT-MESSAGE       PIC X(80).

Upon return from the call to SIMOSTAT the contents of the fields in the pass area will contain the following information.

FSPA-STATUS-CODE-02  =  35
FSPA-STATUS-CODE-04  =  0035
FSPA-TEXT-MESSAGE    =  0035, OPEN failure, specified file not found

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Store, Retrieve & Display Codes

This suite of programs is the first of two examples and will describe how to format a two-byte file status code with a possible mix of numeric and binary data into a four-byte numeric field that may be displayed. A brief, one-line description is also provided.

This suite of programs is the second of two examples and will describe how to call the conversion routine to format a two-byte file status code with a possible mix of numeric and binary data into a four-byte numeric field with a brief description of the File Status Code. This information will then be written to a sequential file.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Company Overview

SimoTime Technologies was founded in 1987 and is a privately owned company. We specialize in the creation and deployment of business applications using new or existing technologies and services. We have a team of individuals that understand the broad range of technologies being used in today's environments. Our customers include small businesses using Internet technologies to corporations using very large mainframe systems.

Quite often, to reach larger markets or provide a higher level of service to existing customers it requires the newer Internet technologies to work in a complementary manner with existing corporate mainframe systems. We specialize in preparing applications and the associated data that are currently residing on a single platform to be distributed across a variety of platforms.

Preparing the application programs will require the transfer of source members that will be compiled and deployed on the target platform. The data will need to be transferred between the systems and may need to be converted and validated at various stages within the process. SimoTime has the technology, services and experience to assist in the application and data management tasks involved with doing business in a multi-system environment.

Whether you want to use the Internet to expand into new market segments or as a delivery vehicle for existing business functions simply give us a call or check the web site at http://www.simotime.com
