  Text:         Read part record error:  EOF before EOR or file open
                in wrong mode
 
  Severity:     Recoverable
 
  Explanation:  A part record has been found at the end of a file.
                Consequently your run-time system will treat the data
                file as a record and not finding a full record will
                report this error.
 
  Resolution:   Ensure that the record size you give when you read
                from or WRITE to a file is consistent.
