On VM, the EDA198 error codes fall into two categories: those that occur on reading the file and those that occur on writing the file.
Most of these error codes are self-explanatory. Some may be obsolete, since they apply to CDF mini disks (those formatted for 800-byte blocks) and not to the current EDF mini disks (those formatted for 512, 1024, 2048, or 4096-byte blocks). The most common error codes are 0000000C (the file is on a read-only disk), 0000000D (the disk is full), and 00000027 (the file is on a disk that is a read-only extension of another disk and therefore cannot be written to).
The following table shows the VM EDA198 reading error codes. Note that all codes are in hex.

The following is an example of an EDA198 error message:
(EDA198) FATAL ERROR IN DATABASE I/O. FOCUS TERMINATING. ERROR
WRITING PAYROLL FOCUS A ,PAGE 418 ,CODE=0000000D
The four pieces of information indicate that the error occurred while writing to the file PAYROLL FOCUS A and that the procedure failed to write page 418 with an error code of 0000000D. The writing error code 0000000D means that the A disk is full.
FOCUS terminates with a return code of 8, indicating a fatal error.
While you are executing a stored procedure that produces a report, the following error message displays:
DMSERD107S Disk E(551) is full
ERROR AT OR NEAR LINE 9 IN PROCEDURE REPORT1 EXEC *
(EDA198) FATAL ERROR IN DATABASE I/O. FOCUS TERMINATING. ERROR
WRITING FOCSORT FOCTEMP E ,PAGE 171 ,CODE=0000000D
In this example, the error code 0000000D was received while writing to the file FOCSORT FOCTEMP E. The E disk was being used as a temp disk (using SET TEMP=E), and FOCUS ran out of sort work space on that mini disk. In this case, the diagnosis is even clearer, since VM issued a DMSERD107S message that the E disk is full just before EDA issued the EDA198 error message.
FOCUS terminates with a return code of 8, indicating a fatal error.
If you know why an EDA198 error message occurred, the first thing to do is to check the integrity of the file with a ? FILE command and a REBUILD/CHECK. If the file checks out cleanly and the problem is a disk space issue, obtain a larger mini disk, clear some files from the existing mini disk, and/or move the file to another mini disk that has sufficient free space. If the file does not check out cleanly, you should restore the file from backup and re-run any transactions that changed the data since the backup was taken.
In VM, use a larger tempdisk for the work file. FOCSORT is written to the current TEMP disk (use the ? SET command to find the current tempdisk setting). The command SET TEMP=filemode allows you to change the tempdisk.
