  Message:      RT023
 
  Text:         Illegal or impossible access mode for CLOSE
 
  Severity:     Recoverable
 
  Explanation:  The mode in which you are attempting to close a file
                is not possible for that type of file.
 
  Resolution:   Close the file with a new access mode which is
                compatible with that type of file, or execute a STOP
                RUN statement and recode your program.
