Nah, I don't blame my tools or the steak -- I blame you!

You're the cause of all my woes :-)

Think that problem was a bad one, wait for this one --

     CALL INTRINSIC "GETPRIVMODE"
     CALL INTRINSIC "FWRITE" USING WS-FETIPAS2-FNUM
                                                 WS-FETIPAS2-RECORD
                                                 WS-FIELD-LENGTH
                                                 \0\

The file is a PRIV mode, KSAMXL lockworded file that was previously FOPENed
and returned a file number = +0021

So, the FWRITE fails with an error code = 45 (PRIVILEGED FILE VIOLATION)

Huh? I've no idea how that can happen.

I am not expecting any constructive answers to this one so I am just
documenting this for posterity.

I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually.
