Message: RT142
Text: File not open - cannot be closed
Severity: Recoverable
Explanation: You have tried to close a file which is not open which
is impossible to achieve.
Resolution: You can abandon your attempt to close the relevant
file and continue to run your program. However, as this
error implies that your program contains a mistake in its
logic, you may wish to close any open files, execute a
STOP RUN statement and then recode.
