That suggests your ALLOC is not coded properly; it might work, but is 
not creating the same sort of file.

is nearly useless (to us) and we cannot see what any of the variables
you defined actually contain.

Have you tried tracing the exec to make sure that 
the contents of the "select cmd" are actually what you expect?

Is there anything odd about the file names involved?

As other people have asked, are the file's characteristics (recfm lrecl
etc) identical in the working and failing instances?
