Important Notice

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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

  Message:      RT005
 
  Text:         Illegal device specification
 
  Severity:     Recoverable
 
  Explanation:  Devices to which your COBOL program can write are
                defined by the operating system. You have tried to
                write to a device that is not defined by your system.
 
  Resolution:   Try the operation again using a device name that your
                system recognizes.
