All of the status codes are listed in the COBOL docs - see here: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.3?topic=values-file-status-key-meanings <https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.3?topic=values-file-status-key-meanings>

30 means a permanent error - lots of possibilities for the cause.

Check the job log for the underlying error message - that will tell you exactly what was wrong.

Hello all,



I’ve been working for a long time on mainframes under z/OS and z/VSE
operating systems. Now, I’m exploring the midrange side while starting to
work on a iSeries (formerly AS-400) computer under OS/400 coding my firsts
COBOL 400 programs.



I have a problem when running a new program that reads a DATABASE file
which contains an agenda and shows it on a screen using a subfile. I took
the example from a blog ([1]AS400: Creación de un Subfile - Cobol
(todo-as400.blogspot.com)).



The problem I have is that when I OPEN TAGENDA the open fails with File
Status = 30.

I looked for the explanation of this error but it isn’t clear enough to
me.



Could any of you give me any guidance about how to fix it?



Thanks,
