RB4U,

If you add a recordlimit do you get the same error message

TABLE FILE TBRMONTH
PRINT *
IF RECORDLIMIT EQ 10
END

It seems you are hitting the file size limit for FOCSORT. Look into TABLEF instead of TABLE. If you only need to view the data, without any BY phrases, that should work.

A 198 is an error reading/writing to a FOCUS database. I think you have an error in your Master. Can you post your MFD (Master File Description). Also, check your user manual for DYNAM ALLOC, it has been a long (loooooonnnnnng) time since I have used a VSAM file, but your allocation doesn't look quiet right. How many characters are in a record?
