open input failed exe/dll

[kmsdove]

My program is a cobol executable dynamically calling another cobol program (.dll) and I am using Net Express 3.1. The called program opens a file and works with files that have records, however the program that opens a file with 0 records fails in the batch file with OPEN INPUT FAILED. Doesn't generate a file-status.

I am fairly new to NetExpress 3.1 so I don't know if I am missing something when defining the file or compiling the DLL or EXE.

I can't seem to find anything in their documentation related to executables/dlls and opening a file with 0 records.

Hi Kathy,

i can't believe that It doesn't matter whether your code is in a .dll format or not. You say it doesn't generate a file-status. Have you declared and checked a file-status field? Is it "00" after open input? Is your "0-record-file" an empty file that really exists or have you tried to open a new file?
May be the file has not the same file format declared in your program...
