When open() fails, what is the value of errno?

Please don't tell me that you only check the return code of open() and you don't check errno! Please don't tell me that, I might have to jump off a ledge.

Has anyone seen this problem ?

I have an RPGLE program that reads a file on the IFS which is created by a
PC program (of mine).
This program has worked successfully for years over all OS/400 versions from
V5R1
Last week a Customer upgraded from V5R3 to V5R4 and the program now fails on
the open() of the IFS file (return code -1)
All other V5R4's including ours work OK.

The strange thing is that if I interactively debug the program - it works.

Any thoughts ?
