Hi,
I think you are try to write data beyond the defined boundaries of the indexed file by using sequential WRITE.

I am wrong correct me.

Thanx

Relative and indexed files only. Indicates a boundary violation. Possible causes:
Attempting to write beyond the externally defined boundaries of a file
Attempting a sequential WRITE operation has been tried on a relative file, but the number of significant digits in the relative record number is larger than the size of the relative key data item described for the file

thanks,

Kumar
