The 02 is explained in the reference manual as:
This file status value applies only to indexed files with alternate keys that allow duplicates.
The input-output statement was successfully executed, but a duplicate key was detected. For a READ statement, the key value for the current key of reference was equal to the value of the same key in the next record within the current key of reference. For a REWRITE or WRITE statement, the record just written created a duplicate key value for at least one alternate record key for which duplicates are allowed.

Hi...

I cleared this issuee

actually 02 is a warning not a error... so i checked after read statement

if file-status = 00 or 02
