You can choose which file status codes you want to use by setting the iscobol.file.status runtime framework property

iscobol.file.status

This property specifies which file status codes to use. Set it to one of the following values:

com.iscobol.io.FileStatusDefault (for 2002 file status codes)

com.iscobol.io.FileStatus85

		com.iscobol.io.FileStatus74

		com.iscobol.io.FileStatusDG

		com.iscobol.io.FileStatusVax

		com.iscobol.io.FileStatusIBM

		com.iscobol.io.FileStatusMF

		com.iscobol.io.FileStatusMS

For example, for RM/COBOL-85 (ANSI 85) codes set iscobol.file.status=com.iscobol.io.FileStatus85

Note for Java programmers: This property specifies the name of the class that handles the file status code. To create a custom set of file status codes, the class must implement the "com.iscobol.io.FileStatus" interface.
