  Message:      0126
 
  Text:         ASSIGN missing
 
  Explanation:  You have used a SELECT clause to give a file a
                file-name which the program will recognize, but
                you have failed to use a corresponding ASSIGN clause
                to give the file an implementor-name (the name which the
                system will recognize).
 
  Resolution:   Insert the relevant ASSIGN clause after the SELECT
                clause.
