Incident: file status 22 stops the customer update

PAGE 02:50 SEV3 - Job CUSTADD ended RC=0016
Branch systems re-sent yesterday's file for one branch

CUSTADD adds each day's new customers (LEARNER.CUST.NEWDAY) to the customer KSDS. Tonight it ended RC 16 after 'WRITE FAILED ... STATUS 22'. One branch re-sent a customer who was added yesterday. Find out what happened, change the program so a customer who is already on file does not stop the run, and make sure every new customer is added.

What you will do

  1. Read the output and the file status
  2. Find which customers were and were not added
  3. Fix the program and rerun safely
