RE:Cobol Write Statement Status Error 22

~~~           START STUDENT-HISTORY-FILE KEY NOT LESS THAN
~~~                      EXTERNALLY-DESCRIBED-KEY
~~~                      INVALID KEY
~~~                         CONTINUE.

I don't see the read.
Start is unnecessary with access mode DYNAMIC.
Start is implicit with read.
~~           DISPLAY R9CQAA ' ' R9CMAA ' ' R9KHAA ' ' R9B1AA
~~~                   ' ' R9B2AA.
~~~              WRITE STUDENT-HISTORY-REC
~~~                 INVALID KEY
~~~                     DISPLAY 'DBSTATUS IS ' DBSTATUS.
~~~                   CONTINUE.

Extra scope delimiter above.
I would do it:
WRITE my-rec
invalid key
   perform-DO-THIS
NOT invalid key
   perform DO-THAT.
