According to your code, the first file it should open is:
/Volumes/EDGAR1/Edgar/full-index/company12014.idx
Does this file exist?

    Yes, I see the file via Windows Explorer.

      I set up a directory and file structure to match what your code is looking for and ran the portion of it that tries to open the files. It seems to work. I'm using Cygwin so the directory structure is UNIX-like.

      I think you are assuming something incorrect about where your file(s) are located. Could you maybe paste in the complete path to your files?

      Your error message should contain the file name that it's dying on, what is that file name?

        File name is company12014.idx

      Try adding "C:" to the front of your filepaths (i.e. "C:/Volumes/EDGAR/..etc..")

        Yup, that did it! Pgm seemed to run before without the C spec, but if that's what it takes to get 'er done, I'm on it. I am grateful for your time and patience. Apologize for wasting your time on such a trivial matter! :-)

        The C spec does the trick! Seemed to work before without it, but if that's what it takes, I'm on it. Thank you!! I am grateful for your time and patience. Apologize for wasting your time! :-)
