Re: Too many files open

Art:

I don't know of a specific maximum number of open files, but (in many
cases) the architecture of the system limits you by memory.  So three
questions:

1.)   How many open files in this job.
2.)   How much memory on the system.
3.)   Is the system generally busy of idle, apart from your job.

In a long "working ok" process, I am receiving this error now:

  2800 - CPYTOSTMF FROMMBR('/QSYS.LIB/QTEMP.LIB/EDI214.FILE/EDI214.MBR')

  TOSTMF('/TMP/EDI856.TXT') STMFOPT(*REPLACE) DBFCCSID(37)

  STMFCODPAG(*PCASCII)

Too many open files for process.


                         Additional Message Information



 Message ID . . . . . . :   CPFA0A4       Severity . . . . . . . :   40

 Message type . . . . . :   Diagnostic

 Date sent  . . . . . . :   08/05/04      Time sent  . . . . . . :
05:05:25


 Message . . . . :   Too many open files for process.

 Cause . . . . . :   The process maximum number of open files has been
reached.
    No additional files can be opened.

 Recovery  . . . :   Close some of the open files or wait until some
files have
   been closed and then retry the operation.



I added a RCLRSC before the CPYTOSTMF, but that didn't help things.

This CLP copies files to the IFS (lots of them), then uses Brad Stones
GETURI to transmit them to a web service.

Any ideas?
