We are converting over to a new server and want to duplicate what we have with the existing one. We use RM/COBOL with the I-shell, cmix, and Easyspooler Spooler software from Roc Software Inc.
All the software has been installed and were trying to access the Cobol programs thru the I-shell system but it will not connect or gives us no errors. Also tried to bypass the menu systems and manually try to access the files and ex the binary cobol program, I get an error "94" on the firsts indexed data file. if I try to sort an indexed sequential file, I get a 0402-050 syntax error.
What am I missing????
A 94 error would indicate that the COBOL file manager cannot match the fixed attributes of the file as described in COBOL with the attributes that are on disk.
How did you copy these files? One not uncommon error is to use the incorrect mode of FTP. You must make binary copies of the files.
Please provide an example of the SORT issue...

Thank you for replying.
Yes, I do know what the 94 error means and yes all the files were copied with FTP in binary transfer mode. Just doesn't make sense.
Example of the Sort issue:
AS SI EMPFILE(1)OW
AS SO EMPSORT(8)OW NE
EX $SORT
IN 1024,I
KEY 0,9
END
expr: 0402-050 Syntax error.
