ANSI File Status Summary
See the chapter Program Definition and your COBOL System Reference for
more details.
ANSI'74 File Status Codes
Status Status Description
key 1 key 2
----------------------------------------------------
0 0 Successful completion
2 , Indexed files only. One of two
possibilities:
a. For a READ statement, the key
value for the current key is equal to
the value of that same key in the next
record within the current key of
reference.
b. For a WRITE or REWRITE statement,
the record just written created a
duplicate key value for at least one
alternate record key for which
duplicates are allowed.
1 0 , There is no next logical record.
You have reached the end of the file.
Status Status Description
key 1 key 2
----------------------------------------------------
2 1 For sequentially accessed files only.
Indicates a sequence error. The
ascending key requirement of
successive record key values has been
violated,, or,, the prime record key
value has been changed by a COBOL
program between successful execution
of a READ statement and the execution
of the next REWRITE statement for that
file.
2 Relative and indexed files only.
Indicates a duplicate key value. An
attempt has been made to write or
rewrite a record that would create a
duplicate key in a relative or indexed
file.
3 Indicates no record found. An attempt
has been made to access a record,,
indentified by a key,, and that record
does not exist in the file.
3 0 The input-output statement was
unsuccessfully executed as the result
of a boundary violation for a
sequential file or as the result of an
input-output error,, such as a data
check parity error,, or a transmission
error.
4 The input-output statement failed
because of a boundary violation. This
condition indicates that an attempt
has been made to write beyond the
externally define d boundaries of a
sequential file.
9 Extended file Status Code
ANSI'85 File Status Codes
ANSI'85 file status codes include all ANSI'74 together with the following
status codes:
Status Status Description
key 1 key 2
----------------------------------------------------
0 4 The length of the record being
processed does not conform to the
fixed file attributes for that file.
5 The referenced optional file is not
present at the time the OPEN statement
is executed.
7 Sequential files only. For a CLOSE
statement with the REEL/UNIT phrase
the referenced file is a non-reel/unit
medium.
1 4 Relative files only. The number of
significant digits in the relative
record number is larger than the size
of the relative key data item
described for that file.
2 2 For indexed and relative files only,,
indicates a duplicate key condition.
An attempt has been made to store a
record that would create: a duplicate
key in the indexed or relative file or
a duplicate alternate record key for a
file that does not allow duplicates.
3 The conditions listed under ANSI'74
code "23". In addition,, a START or
READ statement has been attempted on
an optional input file that is not
present
4 Relative and indexed files only:
Indicates a boundary violation arising
from one of the following conditions:
a. An atttempt has been made to write
beyond the externally defined
boundaries of a file.
Status Status Description
key 1 key 2
----------------------------------------------------
b. A sequential WRITE statement is
attempted for a relative file,, but
the number of significant digits in
the relative record number is larger
than the size of the relative key data
item described for the file.
3 5 An OPEN statement with the I-O, INPUT,
or EXTEND phrases has been attempted
on a nonOPTIONAL file that is not
present.
7 An OPEN statement has been attempted
on a file which does not support the
open mode specified in the OPEN
statement.
8 An OPEN statement has been attempted
on a file previously closed with a
lock.
9 A conflict has been detected between
the fixed file attributes specified
for that file in the program.
4 1 An OPEN has been attempted on a file
already opened.
2 A CLOSE has been attempted on a file
already closed.
3 Files in sequential access mode: the
last I-O statement executed for the
file,, prior to the execution of a
DELETE or REWRITE statement,, was not
a READ statement.
4 A boundary violation exists.
6 A sequential READ statement has been
attempted on a file open in the INPUT
or I-O mode but no valid next record
has been established.
Status Status Description
key 1 key 2
----------------------------------------------------
7 A READ or START statement has been
attempted on a file not opened INPUT
or I-O.
8 A WRITE statement has been attempted:
on a file not opended in the OUTPUT,,
I-O or EXTEND mode; or on a file open
I-O in the sequential access mode.
9 A DELETE or REWRITE statement has been
attempted on a file that is not opened
I-O.
