If this is a Windows system, that would make sense. WRITESEQ writes a directory file, and ":" is illegal in the file name.

My problem is, I am unable to write to a record if a colon (:) character is part of the ID. For example, PROGRAM TEST.WRITE OPENSEQ 'TEST.BP', 'TEST:RECORD' TO F.FILE ELSE PRINT 'CANNOT OPEN THE FILE' END WRITESEQ 'TESTING ONLY' TO F.FILE ELSE PRINT 'CANNOT WRITE TO THE FILE' END CLOSESEQ F.FILE STOP END When executing this program, with a pre-created record TEST:RECORD, system is not writing the record to the file. jsh r09 ~ -->CT TEST.BP TEST:RECORD TEST:RECORD jsh r09 ~ --> The previously created record is as above. After executing the program, the output is as follows: jsh r09 ~ -->CT TEST.BP TEST:RECORD TEST:RECORD jsh r09 ~ --> The same thing, if I use a . instead of a : system is updating the record. The output of the record with a . jsh r09 ~ -->TEST.WRITE jsh r09 ~ -->CT TEST.BP TEST.RECORD TEST.RECORD 001 TESTING jsh r09 ~ --> What could be the problem with a : char in the record ID?
