Check out the system space where the file is going to be written.Ask a system administrator to check the space left in that folder or try writing it in different path.

If you get intermittent DATASET_WRITE and _CLOSE shortdumps on the same user ID it can be down to your network infrastructure if you are writing files across servers.

I have seen this before and unfortunately nothing could be done by the network guys. Therefore I coded TRY..ENDTRY around any dataset commands to prevent short dumps and handle the error safely within code. Whilst it doesn't fix the cause of the problem it allows the job to terminate in a more controlled manner than short dumping.
