// DISP=SHR

SELECT DEFA-IN ASSIGN TO UT-S-DD010

Have you tried the manuals? Or that obscure site called Google?

Of course not...

Find the COBOL Language Reference manual (hint: http://www.ibm.com might be a good place to start looking) and read up on the SELECT statement to find out why you are completely and totally wrong -- the DD name is not UT-S-DD010 in COBOL.
