Hi,

         There is no return code 160 in Vsam upto my knowledge. Its there in DB2 return code. Just check out it may be mainframe response code also.

VSAM return codes are documentted in the IDC3009I error message. There are too many to memorize. Either print it off or keep it in a file on our PC. Anyone working with VSAM or VSAM cats will reter to it often.
