A file status 9/A converts to a 9/065 which means:

COBRT065 File locked (Recoverable)
You have tried to open a file which has already been locked, or opened for output by another user. Alternatively, you have tried to lock or open for output a file which another user already has open.

Resolution:
Your program can inform the system operator (if there is one) that it is unable to access this file and should wait until the other user has finished using the file and closes it. You should then be able to continue to run your program.
Is it possible that the file is locked by another process?
Do you get this same file status on any file or just a particular one?

Can you open the same file in a non ASP.NET program like a console application?

This is only program it has open output file and exit instructions, It does not have another instruction working the file and the file is not created.

Perhaps it is a permissions issue in the folder where you are trying to create the file?

How are you specifying the filename?
Are you specifying a full path or are you trying to write to the current directory?

This might not be allowed if you are trying to create the file in the bin folder as this usually only has read-only/execute permissions.

Are you running under the Visual Studio Development web server or under IIS?

Thank you for your help, the solution works ok, the problem was in the file location and the filename specification.

Thanks
