Description
Valid settings of FISTAT (options can be summed) are:
| Setting | Meaning |
|---|---|
| X'40' | File might be logically inconsistent. |
| X'20' | file is in deferred update mode. |
| X'10' | file has been recovered. |
| X'08' | File is full. |
| X'02' | File is physically inconsistent.
Note: Never reset the FISTAT parameter if the file is physically inconsistent. |
| X'01' | File is not initialized. |
Note: When a file is opened, bits that are not currently defined by Rocket Software for FISTAT are reset. This bit resetting is designed to set aside these bits for features of future Model 204 releases. You cannot use the RESET command to set undefined bits. If an application makes use of any of the undefined bits of the FISTAT parameter, it might produce unexpected results.
