Problem:

What does this error mean?

Resolution:

The MF-code error 14657 = 9/065 file status.

You will get a better status code when you define this as follows:

   01  Ws-File-Status.

           05  Ws-File-Status-1            pic x(01).

           05  Ws-File-Status-2            pic x(01).

           05  Ws-File-Status-N            pic 9(02) comp-x

               redefines Ws-File-Status-2.

Thus 9/065 = file locked.

With the  lock mode clause, the default lock mode is set to exclusive.
