File Error 24

Disk full for Relative or Indexed file. (write)

File Error 30,xx

Permanent error. This is any error not otherwise described.
The secondary code value is set to the host system's status value that caused the error. See your operating system user manual for an explanation.

DOS and Windows secondary codes

Some of the most common causes are:

• Printer off, offline, or not connected to the correct port
• Network connection lost with server
• Server hard drive full

File Error 37,07

User does not have appropriate access permissions to the file.

On SCO Unix, log in as root. At the # prompt, type in: set.priv <Enter>.

File Error 39,xx

Existing file conflicts with the COBOL description of the file.

Usually associated with a version upgrade.
Possible causes are:

• Trying to run a program after installing a major upgrade, but before running the conversion program.
• Trying to run a conversion routine twice.
• On rare occasions a corrupt file can give a File Error 39, xx.

File Error 41

File is already open. (open)

This error is usually accompanied by a File Error 98,xx.

Back to Top

File Error 42

File not open. (close)

Back to Top

File Error 93

File locked by another user. (open)

This error is normally encountered in:

• New setup: USER_NUM and/or REG_NUM not set up correctly for all the users
• Unix: multiple logins using the same login
• Windows: multiple instances of BSMGR running

Back to Top

File Error 94,10

Too many files open by the current process. (open)

This error is normally caused by having a FILES= entry in the CONFIG.SYS file that is set too low. Try setting FILES=100.

Back to Top

File Error 98,xx

Indexed file corrupt. An internal error has been detected in the Indexed file. The secondary status code contains the internal error number. The file should be reconstructed with the appropriate utility (vutil).

Back to Top

File Error 99

Record locked by another user.

Back to Top

File Error 9A

Inadequate memory for operation. This most commonly occurs for the SORT verb, which requires at least 32K bytes of free space. (any)

Back to Top

File Error 9C

There are no entries left in one of the lock tables. The secondary error code indicates which table is full:

• 01 - operating system lock table
• 02 - internal global lock table (set the MAX-LOCKS configuration variable)
• 03 - internal per-file lock table (set the LOCKS-PER-FILE configuration variable)

Back to Top

File Error 9D,xx

This indicates an internal error defined by the host file system. The "xx" is the host system's error value. This is similar to error "30", except that "xx" is specific to the host file system instead of the host operating system.
