Question Title How do I interpret file status 9? and other EXFS extended file status codes (e.g. 9i,105)?

The letter after the 9 is the character representation of the extended file status using ASCII encoding.
For example, a 9i is the same as file status 9 with extended status 105 (i.e. EXFS=105) because "i" is 105 in ASCII.
You can find these extended File Status Codes in isCOBOL's documentation, in the Appendices on the "File Status Codes" page. The text for each code is also listed below.
You can get extended error information by either:

  1. Creating a runtime log with iscobol.tracelevel set to a value that includes 8
       iscobol.tracelevel=15
       iscobol.logfile=<path>/mylog.txt
    
  2. Capture the error and call "C$RERR"
       display-file-error.
          call "C$RERR"     using crerr-status, crerr-text
          call "C$RERRNAME" using rerrname
          display message "Error "  crerr-status, ", ", crerr-text " on " rerrname 
    
The following list of extended values is from the runtime framework source code:
   static final String errMess[] = {
         /* 100 */ "duplicate record",
         /* 101 */ "file not open",
         /* 102 */ "illegal argument",
         /* 103 */ "illegal key desc",
         /* 104 */ "too many files open",
         /* 105 */ "bad isam file format",

         /* 115 */ "",

         /* 117 */ "bad custom collating",
         /* 118 */ "Cannot read log file record",
         /* 119 */ "Record format of transaction-log file cannot be recognized",

         /* 126 */ "function not supported",
         /* 127 */ "disk full",
         /* 128 */ "rec changed",
         /* 129 */ "no more locks available",
         /* 130 */ "missing file",
         /* 131 */ "invalid permission",

         /* END */ "Unknown error"
