This article briefly explains that 9/199 File Status Error means that the runtime system does not understand a status coming in from the operating system.
Problem:
9/199 file status or RTS 199
A system call has returned an unexpected errno which is not expected.
9/199 errors are generated when a file handling call fails and the operating system returns an error that does not get translated to a file status value, as it is expected.
How can the error number be determined and what does the error indicate?
Resolution:
Micro Focus COBOL file handle will handle expected values for errnos. The list of errnos is located in /usr/include/sys/errno.h. or /usr/include/errno.h depending on the platform. Errno.h is a table of error numbers and their meaning.
Animator can be used to determine what statement is causing the error.
File Status Error 9/199 is a legitimate error. It means that the runtime system does not understand a status coming from the operating system. This may require some low level tracing to see the original operating system error such as truss or trace.
