Hi,

I'm guessing this is obvious to a COBOL person :

I had this :
SELECT CUSTMAST ASSIGN TO CUSTMAST.

So I compiled and got this :
Message . . . . : Device type not found in ASSIGN clause.
Assumed DISK.


So I changed to this :
SELECT CUSTMAST ASSIGN TO DISK.

And the editor says this :
ASSIGN clause system-name not found/invalid. Line rejected.

I can put PRINTER in place of DISK, not that that's what I want.

What's wrong?
Thanks
