I have an instream easytrieve program with 2 jobs. The first job creates 3 virtual files that are used in the second job to create an output file. In the second job, it matches the 3 files if the key field are the same and then create an output file. There are other logic when it needs to create the output file. The problem is on the second job where I get B062 and B063 error that the output file is unavailable. The File statement is present for this file as well as the DD statement in the JCL.

I also posted this same problem in another topic but was advised to create a new one since that topic was old. My apology, I have not been into this forum for a long time.

Select all

*******B062 FIELD REFERENCED IN UNAVAILABLE FILE - OUTFILE
*******B063 FIELD REFERENCED WAS - O-KEY
*******B063 FIELD REFERENCED WAS - O-CRF-KEY
*******B063 FIELD REFERENCED WAS - O-AGENCY
*******B063 FIELD REFERENCED WAS - O-SIT
*******B063 FIELD REFERENCED WAS - O-AGENT
*******B063 FIELD REFERENCED WAS - O-CLASSPLAN
*******B063 FIELD REFERENCED WAS - O-STATUS
*******B063 FIELD REFERENCED WAS - O-POLICY
564 JOB INPUT (TRLR01 KEY TRLR01-FILE-KEY +
TRLR02 KEY TRLR02-FILE-KEY +
TRLR49 KEY TRLR49-FILE-KEY)

565 IF MATCHED TRLR01, TRLR02, TRLR49
566 O-POLICY = TRLR01-FILE-KEY
567 O-STATUS = TRLR01-STAT
568 O-CLASSPLAN = TRLR02-CLASSPLAN
569 O-AGENT = TRLR49-AGENT
570 O-SIT = TRLR49-AGENT-SIT
571 O-AGENCY = TRLR49-AGENCY
572 O-CRF-KEY = TRLR49-CRF-KEY
573 O-KEY = TRLR49-KEY
574 PUT OUTFILE
575 END-IF

The references are in the previous JOB, not in the JOB you are showing us.

Thanks for your quick response. I was about to post here to disregard this message since I found out the same reason for the error. I discover this when I tried to run the first job to see if I'm creating the 3 files with records and changed the 3 files to non-VIRTUAL files so I can see the records. However, I was still getting the same error. This is where I realized that the first job was initializing the fields of the OUTFILE to spaces.

Glad you got it. Thanks for letting us know. The error messages are always after the code which caused the error, not before it. Sometimes there'll be a line number, which would have helped you here :-)
