Ronald,
Have you tried copying the file to another file.
If it copies correct with the right number of records, then it’s the program
that has the problem.
If it loops, then it’s the file/catalog that is the problem.
My guess it’s the program, since it looks like the file is being re-opened.

Hello Ronald,
From the log, can you determine what extents are going to what Dynam
files?
Now I am going to step back a little.
Problem:
You have a program that is looping reading a Dynam file, and this
program seems to be in a continuous read of this file.
Single Dynam controlled file:
If it is only one generation of a file, I would have to ask if anything
has been changed in the program that would have it got to the start of the
file and start reading from the front of the file.
Concatenated Dynam Controlled File:
If it is reading multiple generations of the same file, I would say that
that you have Dynam reading concatenated files with the last concatenated
file pointing back to the first file.
Concatenate file 1 gen1
File 1 gen2
File 1 gen3
File 1 gen1
Snip from the EPIC manual>>>>
Reads multiple files using only one open. The files are read as a single
dataset. This process is called dataset concatenation. Use concatenation
to read multiple files when your program performs only one open. This
option is valid for controlled datasets only. For coding, examples, and
limitations, see 6-4 in this manual.
End snip from the EPIC Manual>>>>
I have EPIC but it would seem that the process must be the same put a
Option Code on the EPIC DLBL (which is an E) which allows concatenated
datasets.
So now you have the end pointing to the beginning and Dynam does not
know when to end.
Finally, have you reorganized the Dynam Catalog?

Hi Ed,
Sorry for the very late response......Yes, we do have a disk manager
CA-Dynam. Its been a week since we got this multiple read on the same
extent. How can we resolve this thing? Tried to use Ditto in checking the
file, saw nothing irregular (i hope so) need your help on this, ronald

Hello Ronald,
I am going to ASSUME (not a good thing) that you have some sort of DISK
manager.
Can you look at the Disk catalog for the file in question and see if
there a problem with the catalog entry?

Oops, I think you're correct Ed. Unless the PROGRAM has a serious coding
error, then I don't know how it could happen.

Hello Ronald,
This is not a VSAM file but a file with actual extents correct?
