Thanks for the info. That helps a lot.
However, my next KSAMXL issue is this --
I built a KSAMXL and have a COBOL program that calls the intrinsic "FOPEN"
to open the file thus:
CALL INTRINSIC "FOPEN" USING WS-FILE-NAME
WS-FOPTIONS
WS-AOPTIONS
WS-FIELD-LENGTH
\\
WS-KSAMXL-PARAM
\\ \\ \\ \\
\\ \\
WS-FILE-CODE
GIVING WS-FNUM
This FOPEN is successful if the file exists (using the field WS-KSAMXL-PARAM
that I build in the source code), but if the file does not exist the "FOPEN" fails
which I would expect. But -- the error code it returns is a 187 (KSAMXL
Invalid Key Specification).
I was expecting the error code to be a 52 (Nonexistent Perm File)
So why is this intrinsic giving me a KSAMXL error and not a 52 error?
TIA,
Brian.
