  Message:      RT151
 
  Text:         Random read on sequential file
 
  Severity:     Recoverable
 
  Explanation:  You are trying to do a random read on a file which has
                sequential organization.
 
  Resolution:   Read the file with the correct access mode.  As this
                error implies that your program contains a mistake in its
                logic, you may like to close any files which are open,
                execute a STOP RUN statement and recode.
