MF COBOL Animator - FSTAT 35 on an existing file

Hello, everyone -

I'm running Animator (anim) on HP-UX 11.0 but I keep getting File Status 35 (File missing).

I've tried everything from using dd_ filename declarations to explicitly ASSIGNing the full path in the program, but with no luck. The indexed file is CA0145/CA0145.idx. Here are four examples that have failed:

1) Command line: dd_CA0145=/apm02/apm5120/data/CA0145; export dd_CA0145
ASSIGN clause: ASSIGN TO CA0145

2) Command line: dd_CA0145=/apm02/apm5120/data/CA0145.idx; export dd_CA0145
ASSIGN clause: ASSIGN TO CA0145

3) ASSIGN clause: ASSIGN TO "/apm02/apm5120/data/CA0145"

4) ASSIGN clause: ASSIGN TO "/apm02/apm5120/data/CA0145.idx"

Nothing works! Your help would be much appreciated. OS is HP-UX 11.0, COBOL is MF V4.1.
