In this post, you’ll learn about the COBOL runtime Error Code 014 and the reason why you are receiving it

COBOL Error Code :

014

Reason for this Error in COBOL

Too many files open simultaneously (Recoverable) -You have tried to exceed the maximum number of files which you can have open at any one time. This can be a software or an operating system constraint, but you must not violate it. -Close some of the open files which you are not currently accessing, and then try to open the relevant file again. You should then be able to continue to run your program. Depending on your operating system, you might be able to increase the maximum number of files you are allowed to have open. For example, on DOS, add the line FILES=128 to your config.sys file. On Novell, add the lines CACHE Buffers=0 File Handles=128 to your shell.cfg file. See also:/F RTS switch
