I have created a non-reusable VSAM file.
I am loading the VSAM file thru a Cobol program....opening the file in OUTPUT mode..n using WRITE verb to load...Am able to WRITE only first time...
Next time onwards giving me this error :
Non-reusable non-empty data set was opened with
the RESET option.
How to solve this ??

Hi Gaurav,

Is there a reason why you created a non-reusable VSAM file? Is it for testing purpose or in production?
Try loading data using a JCL and see whether you get error!! Let me know the results..

Correction to my above statement...
If you have test data try loading data into the newly created VSAM file using SORT/IDCAMS in JCL and see whether you get error!! Let me know the results..
