The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

  Text:         Missing or illegal file name
 
  Explanation:  The file name you have specified either does not conform
                to COBOL rules for file names, or has not been declared in
                the FILE-CONTROL paragraph. This may be due to a misspelled
                valid file name.
 
  Resolution:   Correct the file name (or, if necessary, add a file
                description entry to the file-control paragraph).
