Fujitsu COBOL85 File Status 93

[tgreer]

I've written a program that runs fine on my local system. It opens several files for input and output. Nothing special.

On another system, it generates an error when attempting to open a file for output. The File Status is "93", which from what I can find is an error trying to open a file which "someone else" has exclusively locked.

The problem is, that the file doesn't exist. It is created by this program. Who or what has this non-existent file locked?

Any clues?

I turns out that removing the underscore from the name resolved the issue. I don't know if that was the issue, or the length of the filename, or what, exactly.

For win32 and sun platforms, the '_' is part of the special character set

+ - * / = $ , ; . " ( ) < > : & _
