COBRT141 - COBRT160

• COBRT141 File already open - cannot be opened (Recoverable)
  You have tried to open a file which is already open and so cannot be opened again.
• COBRT142 File not open - cannot be closed (Recoverable)
  You have tried to close a file which is not open which is impossible to achieve.
• COBRT143 Rewrite/delete in sequential mode not preceded by successful read (Recoverable)
  You have failed to do a successful read on a sequentially accessed file trying a REWRITE or DELETE on some of the information contained in that file.
• COBRT144 Boundary violation (Recoverable)
  You have tried to write a record to a variable length record file, the length of which is not within the defined range for that file.
• COBRT146 No current record defined for sequential read (Recoverable)
  The file position indicator in your file is undefined owing to a failed read/START or INVALID KEY condition. You have tried to read another record in the file but as the current record is undefined the system cannot find the start of the record for which you have asked.
• COBRT147 Wrong open mode or access mode for read/start (Recoverable)
  You have tried to carry out a read or START operation on a file which has not been opened for INPUT or I-O, or which is not open at all.
• COBRT148 Wrong open mode or access mode for write (Recoverable)
  You have tried to write to a file in sequential access mode that you have not opened for OUTPUT or EXTEND, or you have tried to write to a file in random or dynamic access mode that has not been opened INPUT or I-O, or which is not open at all.
• COBRT149 Wrong open mode or access mode for rewrite/delete (Recoverable)
  You are trying to do a REWRITE or a DELETE on a file that you have not opened for I-O, or which is not open at all.
• COBRT151 Random read on sequential file (Recoverable)
  You are trying to do a random read on a file which has sequential organization.
• COBRT152 REWRITE on file not opened I-O (Recoverable)
  You have tried a REWRITE on a file that is not open I-O.
• COBRT153 Subscript out of range (Fatal)
  A subscript which you have used in your program is out of the defined range, that is, it is either less than one or it is greater than the number of occurrences of the item.
• COBRT154 PERFORM nested too deeply (Fatal)
  This error usually results if you have used GO TO to jump out of the range of a PERFORM rather than to jump to an EXIT statement at the end of its range.
• COBRT155 Illegal command line (Fatal)
  The run-time system does not recognize as valid the command line format you have specified.
• COBRT156 Too many parentheses in compute statement (Fatal)
  You have coded a COMPUTE statement which is too complex for your system to handle successfully.
• COBRT157 Not enough program memory: object file too large to load (Recoverable)
  Either your program is too large for the available memory space, or the stack is full.
• COBRT158 Attempt to REWRITE to a line-sequential file (Recoverable)
  You have used the REWRITE statement in conjunction with a file whose organization is line sequential. The REWRITE statement cannot be used with line sequential files.
• COBRT159 Malformed line-sequential file (Recoverable)
  A line-sequential file which you are trying to access is corrupt in some way.
• COBRT160 Overlay loading error (Recoverable)
  An error has occurred while trying to load the intermediate code for an independent segment. The segment is either missing or corrupted in some way.
