What type of file?
How did you prove that file was not being rewritten?

Its a KSDS file and for a particular key value i wanted to rewrite the record.
by TSO print command i view the file & come to know its not being rewritten.

Did you close and open the file in CICS before checking with TSO?
Sometimes the actual data buffers do not get written immediately, the close will insure that all data gets written....

1) try to use tso print while you're opening the file under CICS
- if "file in use", the go to step 2
- if ok, then check your FCT, it is pointing to wrong file
2) check any abend message in CICS log, may be the FCT only specify the file is read only, please also check is it a remote file that controlled by other CICS?

May be, it happened like that:

1. Record was read for update successfully
2. Record was updated successfully
3. Transaction abended before reaching an explicit or implicit syncpoint so the old record content was recovered.
