The Micro Focus byte-stream file routines enable you to read and write
data files without the need to adhere to COBOL record definitions.
For all the routines, if the routine is successful the RETURN-CODE
register will be set to zero. If the routine fails the RETURN-CODE
register will contain a file status value indicating the failure. This
file status will always be the standard ANSI'74 file status value. If no
ANSI'74 file status is defined for the error, a standard Micro Focus
error status will be returned (9/nnn where nnn is the RTS error number).
