You must declare your file name in the FILE-CONTROL section like the
example below. The FD clause is just for declaring the record layout,
not to assign it to any external file.  There are many examples in our
test.code directory.

FILE-CONTROL.
     SELECT myFile ASSIGN TO "infile"
     ...

Rildo
