any reasons for EXCP=02 other than EOF (End-of-file)?

Posted by Bob A on August 16, 2010 at 08:04:30:

I seem to be getting an EOF on the first record.

first tried: FILE (LUN) POS=BOF
even tried: CLOSE (LUN) & OPEN (LUN) "LUNNAME"

to force the program to point to BOF

yet, when I issue: SAVE.LUN.KEY$ = KEY(LUN,EXCPSUB=EXCPSUB.KEY)

I get EXCP=02 on the first KEY statement... which I know because I dump the EXCP along with the returned key, and it is, in fact, the first of 9 keys/records in the file.

I also tried to check the file with QTILITY, and I can look at all the keys with MAINT and FDUMP.

Also, FILECHK and KEYCHK don't report problems.

the only thing out of the ordinary is that FILECHK won't "list key map", it just says that there are no errors.

Any ideas what else could be causing the EXCP=02 on the first read since all the QTILITY programs I can think of say that the key tree is fine.

Thanx
