Hello friends,

While updating a few programs to use OPEN EXCLUSIVE, i've seen that sometimes (not always) the File Status 32 will pop up and the program will not execute.

Now i've elected to ignore 32, and the program runned without a flaw.

This is what i've come accross about FS 32:

"Too many Indexed files opened. This can also happen when a sequential file is open for input and an attempt is made to open the same file for output.(Run Time System (RTS) message by Micro Focus)."

1 - Should i really ignore FS 32?

2 - Is a simple CLOSE statement enough for a file with OPEN EXCLUSIVE? If not, it would make sense since the same files were opened prior in another program as input, and in this one in output. How should i proceed to close them?
