M204.0188 No sorted groups
An SFL$ or SFGE$ clause is found in a Find statement or in the selection specification of an IFFIND function. Because a group is opened and not a single sorted file, the clause is illegal. The SOUL compilation continues, but the request is not executed. The IFFIND function returns a return code of 4.
Response: Make a single sorted file the default or current file and retry.
