COBOL Runtime Error Code – 041 Corrupt index file (Recoverable) -Your r

In this post, you’ll learn about the COBOL runtime Error Code 041 and the reason why you are receiving it

COBOL Error Code :

041

Reason for this Error in COBOL

Corrupt index file (Recoverable) -Your run-time system does not recognize the control information for an indexed file and as the index has been corrupted in some way the data in the file is no longer accessible by your system. This error is recoverable in the sense that it can be trapped but should you receive it, you can do little except to close any open files and stop your program’s run. -You should rerun your program using the backup copy of that file. If you have added a great deal of information to the file since you last took a backup you might like to rebuild the file using the Rebuild utility, which reads the data (if this has not been corrupted) and builds a new index for it.
