bad file number error

[Cesar Baquerizo]

Thanks for the reply;  the error message I get is cryptic.  It does not 
give me a reference that I can make out.  It looks exactly as written 
below. 

I've done some searches and found reference to this error and write 
statements (which this table does have).  Could that be a problem?  It 
is a very straightforward statement???

*** A System Error Has Occurred ***
: Bad file number

The statement is:

gettsno■ 
If:                                                                   ■
       Then: 
rn(2,.0)="1"                                                      ■
 45  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
       ■ 
If:                                                                   ■
       Then: lookup fmctrl  r=rn   
-ep                                         ■
 46  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
       ■ If: aa eq 
""                                                          ■
       Then: aa=fmctrl(2) ; fmctrl(2)=fmctrl(2) + "1" 
;write                   ■
 47  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
       ■ 
If:                                                                   ■
       Then: close 
fmctrl                                                      ■
 48  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
       ■ 
If:                                                                   ■
       Then: return
