Introduction This document provides a summary of the two-byte File-Status-Key (sometimes referred to as file-returncode or file-status-code). For the COBOL environment if the FILE STATUS clause is specified in the FILECONTROL entry, a value is placed in the specified status key (the 2-character data item named in the FILE STATUS clause) during execution of any request on that file. The value indicates the status of that request. The value is placed in the status key before execution of any EXCEPTION/ERROR declarative or INVALID KEY/AT END phrase associated with the request. The following tables contain file-status-key content that may be set by Micro Focus COBOL (Mainframe Express or Net Express) or an IBM Mainframe (MVS or OS/390).

File Status Key Overview The ANS/85 standard provides for a two-byte file-status-key. The first character of the file-status-key is known as status-key-1. The second character is known as status-key-2. The combinations of possible values and their meanings are shown below with some comments where vendor additions or extensions may occur. Note: If status-key-1 is a nine (9) then status key 2 is "implementor-defined". Many vendors take advantage of the x"00' to x'FF' (or 0-255) binary value. Therefore, the file status key may not always be a numeric value. Status Key-1

The input-output statement was successfully executed, but a duplicate key was detected. For a READ statement the key value for the current key of reference was equal to the value of the same key in the next record within the current key of reference. For a REWRITE or WRITE statement, the record just written created a duplicate key value for at least one alternate record key for which duplicates are allowed. A READ statement was successfully executed, but the length of the record being processed did not conform to the fixed file attributes for that file. An OPEN statement is successfully executed but the referenced optional file is not present at the time the OPEN statement is executed. If the open mode is I-O, the file has been created. Under MVS, the file has been created if the open mode is I-O or EXTEND. This does not apply to VSAM sequential files. File status 0 is returned. For a CLOSE statement with the NO REWIND, REEL/UNIT, or FOR REMOVAL phrase or for an OPEN statement with the NO REWIND phrase, the referenced file was on a non-reel/unit

A sequential READ statement was attempted and no next logical record existed in the file because the end of the file had been reached, or the first READ was attempted on an optional input file that was not present. A sequential READ statement was attempted for a relative file and the number of significant digits in the relative record number was larger than the size of the relative key data item described for the file. A sequence error exists for a sequentially accessed indexed file. The prime record key value has been changed by the program between the successful execution of a READ statement and the execution of the next REWRITE statement for that file, or the ascending requirements for successive record key values were violated. An attempt was made to write a record that would create a duplicate key in a relative file; or an attempt was made to write or rewrite a record that would create a duplicate prime record key or a duplicate alternate record key without the DUPLICATES phrase in an indexed file. This key value applies to an indexed file in which the alternate key has been declared 'UNIQUE'. An attempt was made to randomly access a record that does not exist in the file, or a START or random READ statement was attempted on an optional input file that was not present. An attempt was made to write beyond the externally defined boundaries of a relative or indexed file. Or, a sequential WRITE statement was attempted for a relative file and the number of significant digits in the relative record number was larger than the size of the relative key data item described for the file. No further information. A permanent error exists because of a boundary violation; an attempt was made to write beyond the externally-defined boundaries of a sequential file. An OPEN statement with the INPUT, I-O, or EXTEND phrase was attempted on a nonoptional file that was not present. An OPEN statement was attempted on a file that would not support the open mode specified in the OPEN statement. Possible violations are: 1. The EXTEND or OUTPUT phrase was specified but the file would not support write operations. 2. The I-O phrase was specified but the file would not support the input and output operations permitted. 3. The INPUT phrase was specified but the file would not support read operations.

4. Under VSE, the EXTEND phrase was specified for a SAM file. An OPEN statement was attempted on a file previously closed with lock. The OPEN statement was unsuccessful because a conflict was detected between the fixed file attributes and the attributes specified for that file in the program. These attributes include the organization of the file (sequential, relative, or indexed), the prime record key, the alternate record keys, the code set, the maximum record size, the record type (fixed or variable), and the blocking factor. An OPEN statement was attempted for a file in the open mode. A CLOSE statement was attempted for a file not in the open mode. For a mass storage file in the sequential access mode, the last input-output statement executed for the associated file prior to the execution of a REWRITE statement was not a successfully executed READ statement. For relative and indexed files in the sequential access mode, the last input-output statement executed for the file prior to the execution of a DELETE or REWRITE statement was not a successfully executed READ statement. A boundary violation exists because an attempt was made to rewrite a record to a file and the record was not the same size as the record being replaced, or an attempt was made to write or rewrite a record that was larger than the largest or smaller than the smallest record allowed by the RECORD IS VARYING clause of the associated file-name. A sequential READ statement was attempted on a file open in the input or I-O mode and no valid next record had been established because: 1. The preceding READ statement was unsuccessful but did not cause an at end condition 2. The preceding READ statement caused an at end condition. The execution of a READ statement was attempted on a file not open in the input or I-O mode. The execution of a WRITE statement was attempted on a file not open in the I-O, output, or extend mode. The execution of a DELETE or REWRITE statement was attempted on a file not open in the I-O mode.

Description Successful completion Indexed files only. Possible causes: For a READ statement, the key value for the current key is equal to the value of that same key in the next record in the current key of reference. 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. The length of the record being processed does not conform to the fixed file attributes for that file.

Too many indexed files open (Micro Focus).

Attempted to write to a file that has been opened for input. Sequential files only. For an OPEN or CLOSE statement with the REEL/UNIT phrase the referenced file is a non-reel/unit medium. No room in directory or directory does not exist. No next logical record exists. You have reached the end of the file. Attempted to open a file that is already open. File not found. 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. Too many files open simultaneously (Micro Focus). Too many device files open (Micro Focus). Record error: probably zero length (Micro Focus). Read part record error: EOF before EOR or file open in wrong mode (Micro Focus). Rewrite error: open mode or access mode wrong (Micro Focus).

Device or resource busy (Micro Focus). Sequentially accessed files only. Indicates a sequence error. The ascending key requirements 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 execution of the next REWRITE statement for that file. Indexed and relative files only. Indicates a duplicate key condition. 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 that does not allow duplicates. Indicates no record found. An attempt has been made to access a record, identified by a key, and that record does not exist in the file. Alternatively a START or READ operation has been tried on an optional input file that is not present. Relative and indexed files only. Indicates a boundary violation. Possible causes: Attempting to write beyond the externally defined boundaries of a file Attempting a sequential WRITE operation has been tried on 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. The I/O statement was unsuccessfully executed as the result of a boundary violation for a sequential file or as the result of an I/O error, such as a data check parity error, or a transmission error. Too many Indexed files opened. This can also happen when a sequential file is open for input and an attempt is made to open the same file for output.(Run Time System (RTS) message by Micro Focus). The I/O statement failed because of a boundary violation. This condition indicates that an attempt has been made to write beyond the externally defined boundaries of a sequential file. An OPEN operation with the I-O, INPUT, or EXTEND phrases has been tried on a nonOPTIONAL file that is not present. Trying to open a file that does not exist. May need to map the COBOL file name to the physical file name. (Micro Focus, refer to the ASSIGN(EXTERNAL) directive) An OPEN operation has been tried on a file which does not support the open mode specified in the OPEN statement.

46 47 48

A conflict has been detected between the actual file attributes and the attributes specified for the file in the program. This is usually caused by a conflict with record-length, key-length, key-position or file organization. Other possible causes are: 1. Alternate indexes are incorrectly defined (Key length or position, duplicates or sparse parameters). 2. The Recording Mode is Variable or Fixed or not defined the same as when the file was created.. A CLOSE operation has been tried on file already closed. Files in sequential access mode. The last I/O statement executed for the file, before the execution of a DELETE or REWRITE statement, was not a READ statement. A boundary violation exists. Possible causes: Attempting to WRITE or REWRITE a record that is larger than the largest, or smaller than the smallest record allowed by the RECORD IS VARYING clause of the associated file Attempting to REWRITE a record to a file and the record is not the same size as the record being replaced. A sequential READ operation has been tried on a file open in the INPUT or I-O mode but no valid next record has been established. A READ or START operation has been tried on a file not opened INPUT or I-O. A WRITE operation has been tried on a file not opened in the OUTPUT, I-O, or EXTEND mode, or on a file open I-O in the sequential access mode.

A DELETE or REWRITE operation has been tried on a file that is not opened I-O.

Extended File Status Keys The first character of the file-status-key is known as status-key-1. If status-key-1 is equal to 9 then statuskey-2 is a one byte, binary value as defined in the following table. Status-key-2
