- Your program has created a process as a result of a DD_ logical file-name mapping assignment (for example, the process might be a line printer spooler). The process was not created properly, or has ended prematurely. This error occurs when your program tries to write to the process.
- Your application has terminated abnormally or prematurely, thus breaking the pipe.
Resolution:
You can trap the error status returned by the write operation, then open the file again.
