Re: display current directory level

Rob,

I am using absolute paths, so maybe the curdir problem is not the problem

I don't know for sure that the way I described it is why it happened,
but it's the only thing I can think of that could get reset on a
signoff/signon.

Would it be better to use absolute paths versus relative paths?  For
example, instead of copying to
TOSTMF('rob/myfile.txt')
use
TOSTMF('/home/rob/myfile.txt')
and start with the slash?

Might want to change the logging level of the job to get more messages.

display current directory level






Hey all,

A user had a problem today where a CPYTOIMPF command in a CLP failed,
I think because the file already existed and the user no authority to
replace.  I'm assuming this, because of course the job log only showed
the CPC2957 - no records copied error.

After dumping the program to get the path, and checking, I deleted the
existing file and had her try again, and got the same error (CPC2957 -
no records copied).

I had her log on to another session and key the command manually, and
it worked fine.

Signing off and relogging on fixed the problem with the initial
session, and I can't think of any reason why this would happen, except
an educated guess that somehow the session that had the original error
left her in the equivalent of WRKLNK '/directory/dir/*'  which kept
her from copying to '/directory/dir/directory/dir/' - if that makes
any sense.

my question is, is there any place to look at a job and determine the
level of IFS directory it is currently sitting at?

or any other ideas why this error caused that session to be unusable
for CPYTOIMPF?

Thanks,

Rick
