Re: V5R3 - CPYTOIMPF fails with Error 3029

When you see an error number like this (3029) you can find out what it means by prefixing it with CPE and displaying the message description. For example:

DSPMSGD CPE3029

In this case, it means "resource busy" which implies that the stream file (A2057LI.txt) is in use by another job. You can use iSeries Navigator to see who is using it.

RCLRSC won't help you. RCLRSC is for objects of type *FILE (i.e. physical and logical files) not for stream files (*STMF). (It releases some other things as well, such as static storage. Prompt RCLRSC and press F1 for details). Also RCLRSC only affects the default activation group -- I sure hope your ILE programs aren't running in the default activation group!!

Anyway... use iSeries Navigator to find out who's using the file, and get them to exit their program and/or sign off the system to clear the lock on the object, then run the CPYTOIMPF again.
