COBRT138 File closed with lock - cannot be opened (Recoverable)

You are trying to open a file which you previously closed with lock, which violates one of the general rules of COBOL programming.

Resolution:

You cannot open the relevant file. As this error implies that your program logic contains a mistake, you might want to close any remaining open files, execute a STOP RUN statement and recode.
