Getting a vsam error, s213 is what the output states and this occurs evertyime I run (this is on the mainframe obviously). would this be a cobol related error or a vsam related problem?

Guest Says:
If you are using an ESDS file, then s213 can occur if you didn't prefix your file with AS- (Look it up, your ddname must begin with as- in order for this to work, otherwise the s213 will occur and you will never get past it).
