I'm getting this error!

I tried using that app configuration file that chris glazer sent (i think that's his name) for another program and it gave me a wrong mode error what modes it suppose to be in

the only thing I can think that is different is this line in my code

organization is line sequential.

im not sure that's any mode or not

well its got nothing to do with this code

ORGANIZATION IS LINE SEQUENTIAL

the only thing I can think of is there a read statement in my code maybe that has something to do with it

This error is a file handling error that would happen if you were trying to read a record that was shorter in the physical file than how it is defined in the program so the logical file in the program is probably difined differently than how it exists on disk.

Either that or you are trying to read from a file opened for output or extend, which isn't supported.

What statement is at these line numbers:

at Void REPORT._MF_PERFORM_4_1() in C:\\Users\\titor\\documents\\visual studio 201

0\\Projects\\Report\\Report\\Program1.cbl:line 89

at Int32 REPORT.REPORT() in C:\\Users\\titor\\documents\\visual studio 2010\\Projec

ts\\Report\\Report\\Program1.cbl:line 51

If this is a line sequential file and has CRLF at the end of each record then you need to define it as LINE SEQUENTIAL as a standard file defined as SEQUENTIAL does not use these delimiters.

How is this file created, through COBOL or through other means?

Look at the file in a text editor like notepad.

What is the length of each record?

how do you put a text file in a reply

oh I think I figured it out

So the error is on the read statement as shown here:

READ PHONE-FILE NEXT RECORD

AT END line 89

MOVE "Y" TO END-OF-FILE.

So either the record is defined as the incorrect size to what is actually on the disk or you are not opening the file in a mode that can support a read.

Your record for your phone file is defined as 60 characters according to the definitions.

My guess is that one of the following is happening:

1. you are creating the file in this program using open extend and then you are trying to read it back without first closing it and opening it for input.

2. you created the file as sequential type and are trying to read it back as line sequential.

Can you please attach the program so that I can review it?

Thanks.

Here ya go

I think the phone file is a sequential file

and I'm trying to read line sequential

how would I fix that

boy you know your cobol

That looks ok so it must be the actual file format.

Can you please attach phone.dat?

ok it gave me this error when I changed the printer file to sequential instead of line sequential

I guess its saying its end of file before end of read maybe its my definitions I have maybe you can figure it out I can't seem to

You can't just change the file definition without knowing what type of file it is.

Where did phone.dat come from?

Can you please attach phone.dat so I can look at it?

Thanks.

I think I might know what the problem is I don't have enough test data in the phone file I just used a couple names and phone numbers I made up I'm suppose to have a lot more data not sure if that is the problem but maybe

Yes, that would be the problem and it exactly represents the condition reported by the error message.

You have to at least have a full record present as COBOL reads files a record at a time and not a field at a time.
