In this post, you’ll learn about the COBOL runtime Error Code 043 and the reason why you are receiving it
COBOL Error Code :
043
Reason for this Error in COBOL
File information missing for indexed file (Fatal) -The system has crashed on your program’s previous run, while the file was open. Information was probably added to the end of the file, but the directory information was not updated and so that data cannot be accessed by your system. Alternately, you have copied the indexed file from one disk to another but have copied either only the data part of the file or only the index. -If the error is the result of a crash then whether you can access the necessary data or not is entirely system dependent. If, however, it is the result of a faulty copy you should be able to restore the missing part of the file from the.dat or .idx file.
