Hello,

Please let me know the commands to close the previously opened VSAM file in CICS environment.
CEMT SET F1(FILEX) CLOSED is not working. Please let me know if I am doing something wrong.

You can try with
EXEC CICS SET FILE(filename) CLOSED

Hello,

That is program code. . .

Naresh,
If you explain why you believe you should close an online file, someone will be able to post a more useful reply. Most places heavily frown on people closing files in use by cics on their own.
