Close file failed

What does 12338 mean?

A general failure occurred during a file close operation. This IO_STATUS error indicates an underlying issue that prevented a file associated with the file_id from being properly closed and its system resources released. The program will abort if the file_id is invalid.

• The file system encountered an error while attempting to finalize file operations or flush buffered data.
• The file was already closed or in an invalid state when the close operation was attempted.
• The file_id used does not correspond to a valid opened file handle.

1. 1

   Verify the file_id corresponds to an actually opened file prior to attempting to close it.

2. 2

   Check system logs for other underlying file system errors that might be preventing successful file closure.

3. 3

   Use the KAREL command READ file_id(cr) to clear any existing IO_STATUS error condition.
