AIX Cobol Run-Time errors

[BrianTyler]

Does anyone have a list of Cobol run time errors - running IBM cobol on AIX on RS6000?

I am getting program status = 139, which could be because the program is too big, but I am only guessing as no lists of message codes seem to be available.

If you are getting an error at runtime, then your program is not too big to run, right?

When do you get the "program status 139"? Or do you mean that this is a "file status 139"?

If this is a file status, then it has to do with "Record length or key data inconsistency". Check your program SELECT statement against the structure of the file it's trying to access.

Thanks for the response. It was Program Status 139, but I have now found the fault. A slip in the coding used the wrong index to access a very large array, so all sorts of things were overwritten.

However, I am still looking for a list of Program Status codes - surely one must exist somewhere, but I have failed to find it in the IBM documentation or the web in general.

I must admit, I have never heard of "Program Status codes". Are you sure "Program Status" isn't hardcoded somewhere in there?
