  Message:      RT022
 
  Text:         Illegal or impossible access mode for open
 
  Severity:     Recoverable
 
  Explanation:  The mode in which you are attempting to open a file
                violates the General Rule of COBOL for that type of file;
                for example you may have opened a line-sequential file in
                the I-O mode.
 
  Resolution:   Open the file with a mode that is compatible with that
                type of file.
