I get error IKJ56246I DATA SET MVS004.MVS004.REXX.OUT NOT ALLOCATED, FILE IN USE

Please let me know what is wrong.

Exactly what it says - the dataset is allocated elsewhere - you do not check the return code

[abhsha27]

Return code is 12

[willy jensen]

You should check the return code and then stop the program right then and there. But the underlying problem remains the same, the dataset is in use so you must find out who the current holder is and politely ask if s/he could free it. Or use another dataset.

[willy jensen]

And by the way, you really really should look at using the SDSF API, described in the SDSF Users's Guide.

Actually, it says "FILE IN USE". It could be a different data set allocated to the SYSOUT file name.
