Bob,
i dont have anything as sophisticated as that.
I am opening up the file in the main program and passing it through to the
subroutine.
I dont understand how a file pointer could end up referencing SYS.MESSAGE
though when the application software never references it.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

Hi John,
In our system, we have a subroutine that opens files and places the file
handle information in a dimensioned array. When the subroutine is
called, it first checks the array to see if it's already been opened.
If it has, the handle information is passed back without having done an
actual open. If the file is not already in the list, an open is done
and it's added to the array then the newly opened handle information is
passed back to the calling subroutine.
If you have this same type of environment, then my comments would be in
reference to the array getting clobbered and passing back bad
information for a file which is a pointer that ends up going to the
SYS.MESSAGES file instead of the intended file. Normally I would assume
that this would only end up with records being written but it's
something to check for.

Bob/Kevin
the platform is Windows 2000 and its a dynamic file passed in
through a
subroutine.
ie CALL *SUB(FILE1,FILE2)
I have checked for it being clobbered and we do not refer to
SYS.MESSAGE so
i cant see how this could happen
I have tried writing test programs to get the same error message but
without
success
