COBRT001 - COBRT020

• COBRT001 Insufficient buffer space (Recoverable)
  You have tried to open a file directly or indirectly and, although you have not exceeded your system's file limit, something in your system is unable to allocate enough memory space for this operation.
• COBRT002 File not open when access attempted (Recoverable)
  You have tried to access a file without opening it first.
• COBRT003 Serial mode error (Recoverable)
  You have tried to open a device as a relative or indexed file.
• COBRT004 Illegal file name (Recoverable)
  A file-name contains an illegal character. This could be any character that is not part of the permitted character set or it could be the system-dependent delimiter, which on most systems is the space.
• COBRT005 Illegal device specification (Recoverable)
  Devices to which your COBOL program can write are defined by the operating system. You have tried to write to a device that is not defined by your system.
• COBRT006 Index structure corrupt (Recoverable)
  The index of your data file has become corrupt, and although it still may be accessible, you should rebuild it.
• COBRT007 Disk space exhausted (Fatal)
  The disk is full.
• COBRT008 Attempt to input from a file opened for OUTPUT (Recoverable)
  You have tried to read from a file that is open for output only.
• COBRT009 Directory not found (Recoverable)
  The system cannot write to the specified directory for one of the following reasons:
• COBRT010 File name not supplied (Recoverable)
  You have tried to open a file that you have declared as an external file, but have not named.
• COBRT011 Process limit reached (Fatal)
  One of the following has occurred:
• COBRT012 Attempt to open a file which is already open (Recoverable)
  You have tried to open a file which is already open and so cannot be opened again.
• COBRT013 File not found (Recoverable)
  The operating system has been unable to find a file which you have tried to access in your program.
• COBRT014 Too many files open simultaneously (Recoverable)
  You have tried to exceed the maximum number of files which you can have open at any one time. This can be a software or an operating system constraint, but you must not violate it.
• COBRT015 Too many indexed files open (Recoverable)
  You have tried to exceed the maximum number of indexed files which you can have open at any one time. This can be a software or an operating system restraint, but you must not violate it.
• COBRT016 Too many device files open (Recoverable)
  You have tried to exceed the maximum number of device files which you can have open at any one time. This can be a software or an operating system constraint, but you must not violate it.
• COBRT017 Record error: probably zero length (Recoverable)
  You have probably tried to access a record that has had no value moved into it.
• COBRT018 Read part record error: EOF before EOR or file open in wrong mode (Recoverable)
  A part record has been found at the end of a file. Consequently your run-time system treats the data file as a record, and not finding a full record, reports this error.
• COBRT019 Rewrite error: open mode or access mode wrong (Recoverable)
  You are trying to do a REWRITE to a file that has not been opened with the correct access mode for this operation.
• COBRT020 Device or resource busy (Recoverable)
  You have tried to open a file that is assigned to a device or resource (for example, a line printer) that is not available at this time.
