vsam + open error 93 with Feedback code 68 OS/390

We have a problem with one of our cobolprogramms (Ansi 85).
We open VSAM-Datasets with shareoptions 2,3. It's a single job which
opens
Datasets with open I-O. Now, somtimes we get an error 93, which says
"Resource is not available.
But this can't be. The Dataset is there. All seems correct. Is there
another possibility, that the Operating-System get our dataset, or is
it not really closed, but then I think, we must get an 97 Error.

I hope someone can help us.

with best regards

Probable cause #1 - mis-spelled Select/Assign or DDname

Possible cause #2 - missing alternate key dataset

Could also be a security error. I've gotten Status 93
if I don't have proper security access through RACF or
whatever to open the dataset.
