RE: How to determine if a file transfer is complete

 
Attempt to MOV the file to another folder for processing. The MOV will fail
if the file is still locked. I simply build a 'Process' folder as a child of
the folder containing the files. Another nice feature is to then MOV it to a
'Archive' folder after processing.

Checking the *MSGQ works too but doesn't allow for simply moving the file
back if reprocessing is required. Not that that ever happens during testing
and development :)

Subject: How to determine if a file transfer is complete

We have one large file that is sent to us monthly, that goes to the IFS.
We then have an automated process to decrypt the file for internal
processing.  
On this file only, the decryption process fails.  All I have to do is to
move the file from an archived folder back to the original folder and our
automated processing will decrypt the file successfully.
We think that this is a timing issue as this is the largest file we receive.
Our automated process runs every sixty seconds to check for files to
process.  We can not increase the time between when this automated job runs.
All other files that we decrypt using these procedures process successfully
the first time.
Is there an API or a trick that we can use to verify that the file transfer
is complete to the IFS before we try to decrypt the file?
