Question: vsam has returned code x'0008'?
Answer: VSAM HAS RETURNED CODE X'0008' IN R15 AND REASON X'00CE'. The 08,CE indicates an attempt has been made to open a file using RLS, but the LOG value has not been specified on the catalog entry for the underlying dataset. The concern is when using the XFCSREQC exit with RLS the exit is acting like there is no open error.
