WHat can be the issue??

Issue closed. It was because of file was in close status. my miss.

Your file was Closed/Enabled, so CICS should have opened the file when it received its first file control request on it. Only if it was Closed/Unenabled or Closed/Disabled should that have caused you a problem.

It's probably worth your time to look into this deeper, because system programmers like to set all files to Closed/Enabled at CICS startup. It makes things much more efficient if you're not trying to open thousands of files at once.

Thanks for the info. I never know this.
