Also check that your not clobbering any of your subfile control hidden
fields that are used to position the subfile records and such with
non-numeric data. This will happen most times when you use the
DDS-ALL-FORMATS clause which the record formats to redefine the display
record. Another problem comes from defining the subfile as a window and
displaying it outside of the display area. I have had errors so severe
that I would get an abend and be signed off immediately. It has always
helped to step through the write statement in debug and display my field
values to find the culprit.

Yup, its been my experience that a 9N is usually due to a failure to
properly initialize all fields in a subfile record or the subfile
control record.

subject: [COBOL400-L] file status question
we recently had a patch we received from an external vendor that has
broken an interactive program and i would like to be certain about the
error before i report it and get the run-around on the root cause.
the
file status being reported is "9N" i believe this is a subfile/fisplay
file error based on what i could find doing a google search. is that
a
correct assumption?
Thanks,
Tommy Holden
