how to avoid Abend D37 during close

Hello,
I have the following problem on VSII COBOL on OS390.

When writing a sequential file (BLKSIZE=0,RECFM=FB,LRECL=80) it happens
that the close statement causes an abend D37 due to limited space
defined in th DD-Statement in the JCL.

Whereas evaluating the FILE STATUS after the WRITE statement works well
it does not work when closing. It seems that the last write statement
(to the buffer) works well, but the close statement afterwards causes
the abend (probably when physically writing the pending data).

Is there any way to avoid this abend?

Greetings Juergen

and what about the SPACE STATEMENT : SPACE=(CYL,(10,2)),DISP=(NEW,
CATLG,DELETE)

Delete the SPACE clause, let ACS manage space .. assuming you have
SMS.
