Logical File Access

["Don Stafford" <don.stafford@xxxxxxxxx>]

Is there a trick to accessing files via logical files?
When I do the START, it returns with an file-status of '23'..... BEFORE the 
READ statement
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

select WFLOD
    assign to database-WFLOD
    organization indexed
    access dynamic
    record key externally-described-key with duplicates

Here is the paragraph containing the code referred to above


PROC-ITEMS.

    INITIALIZE WFLOD-RECORD.

    IF ITEM-NO NOT = "*ALL"
       MOVE ITEM-NO TO LDITEM.

    START WFLOD KEY NOT < EXTERNALLY-DESCRIBED-KEY.
    IF WFLOD-FS < "03"
       READ WFLOD NEXT RECORD
       IF WFLOD-FS < "03"
          PERFORM CHK-THIS-ITEM
          IF TFITM-FS = "00"
             MOVE LDITEM TO SAV-ITEM
