Hope this code fragment from one of my macros helps

Excellent Roy.
I fairly sure this is the problem as I just logged on again, ran the report
and got the error again. I ran it once more, with exactly the same options
and it worked. I'm using Cobol85 and indeed am using OPEN EXTENDS, example:
move 88888888 to nb-account-no.
R1330 - open extend navbil-file.
R1330 - write navbil-record.
R1330 - close navbil-file.
R1330-FINAL-CPTJO-RECORD.
R1330 - open extend cptjo-file.
R1330 - write cptjo-record.
R1330 - close cptjo-file.
move 88888888 to nb-account-no.
R1330 - open extend navbil-file.
R1330 - write navbil-record.
R1330 - close navbil-file.
Total PNR-DETAILS Read: 000487719
END OF PROGRAM
So, OPTIONAL then, I'll get the manual.
Thanks

9x errors are 'Implementation-defined' COBOL file status errors.
The G is the FSERR number expressed in the ASCII collating sequence, or in
other bytes, 71.
This is: TOO MANY FILES OPEN (FSERR 71)
Likewise, the 9d decodes to: DUPLICATE PERMANENT FILE NAME (FSERR 100)
My guess? You've recompiled this from ANSI-74 to ANSI-85, and fallen foul of
some of the file-handling subtleties that are different (e.g. OPEN or OPEN
EXTEND on 74 will build a file that does not exist at the time; 85 needs an
OPTIONAL clause not to error on this).
Or if not, that the 'unrelated change' is not so unrelated as you think, and
has broken the existing processing..... :-(
