* STATUS.CBL *
* *
* This program demonstrates how to interpret values returned *
* in the second of the two status bytes. Status bytes are set *
* up after EVERY file operation (assuming that you have declared*
* them in the select clause) and it is important to check the *
* values returned after every operation. This program shows how*
* to do this. *
* *
* The program tries to open and close a file called INPUT.FIL. *
* If the operations fail it displays the corresponding file *
* status bytes *
