COBCH0121 - COBCH0140

• COBCH0121 Cannot specify DYNAMIC or EXTERNAL with literal file name
  You can specify DYNAMIC or EXTERNAL in the ASSIGN clause of a file description entry only if the filename is contained in a data item rather than given as a literal filename.
• COBCH0122 Cannot use Double Byte characters in alphabet or class definition
  When defining an alphabet or class, you cannot use double-byte characters.
• COBCH0123 I-O-CONTROL missing
  You have omitted the heading I-O-CONTROL.
• COBCH0124 INPUT-OUTPUT missing
  You have omitted the heading INPUT-OUTPUT.
• COBCH0125 FILE-CONTROL missing
  You have omitted the heading FILE-CONTROL.
• COBCH0126 ASSIGN missing
  You have used a SELECT clause to give a file a filename which the program recognizes, but you have failed to use a corresponding ASSIGN clause to give the file an implementor-name (the name which the system recognizes).
• COBCH0127 [LINE] SEQUENTIAL, RELATIVE or INDEXED missing
  In the ORGANIZATION IS clause of the FILE-CONTROL paragraph you have failed to specify the logical structure your file is to take.
• COBCH0128 ACCESS missing on indexed/relative file
  The format of this clause depends on the organization of the data-file. If you have specified the ORGANIZATION clause for a file as either INDEXED or RELATIVE you must specify an ACCESS MODE clause for it, indicating which mode you will use to access that file. If no mode is specified, sequential access mode is assumed.
• COBCH0129 Too many keys or key components
  The number of separate data items making up the record key and alternate key fields of one indexed file is too great.
• COBCH0130 Illegal ORGANIZATION/ACCESS/KEY combination
  If you have specified these clauses in your program, they must be compatible, but in your program they are not.
• COBCH0131 Unrecognized phrase in SELECT clause
  Your COBOL system has failed to accept part of your SELECT clause. This message could be given if the filename which you have given in the SELECT clause does not conform to the rules for the naming of COBOL files.
• COBCH0132 Repeated "condition-name TO TRUE/FALSE" in SET statement
  You have specified a repeated "condition-name to TRUE/FALSE" phrase in a single SET statement. This does not conform to your selected flagging dialect.
• COBCH0133 SAME AREA clause syntax error
  This optional clause, by which you allow two or more files to access the same central storage space, does not conform to the relevant syntax rules.
• COBCH0134 FILE SECTION missing
  You have omitted the heading FILE SECTION.
• COBCH0135 DATA DIVISION missing
  You have omitted the heading DATA DIVISION.
• COBCH0136 Illegal use of phrase for National Locale operation
  You have included one or more of the following COBOL clauses in your program:
• COBCH0137 Program collating sequence not defined
  You have included the PROGRAM COLLATING SEQUENCE clause in the OBJECT-COMPUTER paragraph of your code but have failed to code a corresponding ALPHABET-NAME in the SPECIAL-NAMES paragraph. Your code must contain an ALPHABET-NAME clause if it has a PROGRAM COLLATING SEQUENCE clause in it.
• COBCH0138 "EXCLUSIVE", "AUTOMATIC" or "MANUAL" missing
  The LOCK MODE clause in the FILE-CONTROL paragraph of the Environment Division does not contain one of the words EXCLUSIVE, AUTOMATIC, or MANUAL, or if it does, your COBOL system has failed to recognize the word, perhaps owing to a spelling mistake. The LOCK MODE clause controls access to files shared between a number of users in a multi-user environment. Its form is determined by the filetype with which it is used.
• COBCH0139 Illegal LOCK MODE/file type combination
  The format of the LOCK MODE clause depends on the file type. You have specified a LOCK MODE clause which is incompatible with the type of the specified file. Non-shareable files must have lock mode EXCLUSIVE while shareable files can have lock mode AUTOMATIC or MANUAL.
• COBCH0140 For indexed file, PASSWORD phrase must follow KEY
  For an indexed sequential file description entry, any PASSWORD phrase must immediately follow the KEY phrase.
