If it's a comma delimited file you're file contains to many commas (fields).

Example:

FILENAME=TEST,SUFFIX=COM,$
SEGNAME=RECORD,$
FIELDNAME =FIELD1 , E01 ,ACTUAL=A4 ,USAGE=A4 ,$
FIELDNAME =FIELD2 , E02 ,ACTUAL=A4 ,USAGE=A4 ,$

Data:

AAAA,BBBB,CCCC,$
VVVV,XXXX,XXXX,$

The data comes from a SQL database, so it must be something else...

I'm sure the explanation won't be of any help, but:

? 416

0(FOC416) MORE VALUES SUPPLIED THAN FIELDS IN THE MASTER FILE DESCRIPTION
 Freeform data, in which commas delimit each value, contain too many
 commas.  Or, a field is identified by its order number in the
 Master File Description which exceeds the number of fields in the
 file.

If it's an SQL table then if could be that the occurs value is incorrect

For example:

FILENAME=TEST,SUFFIX=SQLDS,$
SEGNAME=RECORD,$
FIELDNAME =FIELD1 , ALIAS=E01 ,ACTUAL=A4 ,USAGE=A4 ,$
FIELDNAME =FIELD2 , ALIAS=E02 ,ACTUAL=A4 ,USAGE=A4 ,$
FIELDNAME =FIELD3 , ALIAS=E03 ,ACTUAL=A4 ,USAGE=A4 ,$

SEGNAME=OCC, PARENT=RECORD, POSITION=FIELD1, OCCURS=4,$
FIELDNAME =FIELD , ALIAS=E04 , ACTUAL=A4, USAGE=A4,$
FIELDNAME =ORDER , ALIAS=ORDER, ACTUAL=I4, USAGE=I4,$

The above master description is incorrect because the occurs value should be (3) and not (4). This will result in a FOCUS 416. Are you using an OCCURS in your MFD?

thanks for the help

Albert was right it was a comma delimited file.
I overlooked the part of my report that used that file.

The error came right at the beginning where my program used that file at the end....
