KEY IS phrase in READ is not valid for %1 with externally described keys. Statement ignored.

Cause . . . . . : The SELECT statement for the file contains the phrase RECORD KEY IS EXTERNALLY-DESCRIBED-KEY, therefore the KEY IS phrase within any READ statement for this file must also specify EXTERNALLY-DESCRIBED-KEY.

Recovery . . . : Change or remove the KEY IS phrase, or do not specify externally described keys in the SELECT statement for the file.
