Re: Help creating file on IFS

So we can assume if you use option 5, you can see the data?

Scott,
1. The proper number of bytes for the file is 100.  This shows in the
WRKLNK option 8 on the i.  The file consists of 2 records each 50 bytes.

2. In Windows (XP Pro) when I view the list of files on the mapped drive,
it shows 1K.
  When I double click on the file name, nothing happens.  The file does
not open and no error is issued.

3. When viewing the properties in Windows, the file shows as 0 bytes.


I am using the IFSIO_H copy book from your book, although it may be an
older copy as I had to modify the Open prototype to add the fifth parm
required for O_TEXT_CREAT.

The code I use for the Open of the file is shown in my original post.

Thanks,

Thanks,

Does IFS_File_Name need to be varying length, so you don't pass up blanks
as part of the file name?

All,
I have a program that is attempting to create a file on the IFS.
I am using the IFSIO_H copybook from Scotts IFS book for the prototypes.
The snippet of code below is failing on the open.
<snip>

D IFS_File_Name S 50A

D FileDs S 10I 0

D RC S 10I 0

D Bytes_Loaded S 10I 0

D Msg S 256A Based(p_Msg)

D Test_Data S 1350A

D

// Prototypes for IFS Processing

/Copy QCopyBks,IFSIO_H

/copy QCopyBks,ERRNO_H

/Free

Test_Data = '123456179 THIS IS A TEST ITEM,213123434 THIS IS ANOTHER';

// Create file on IFS

IFS_File_Name = '/excel/xml/I' +

'12456' +

'_' +

'0' +

'.csv';

FileDs = Open(IFS_File_Name // Path & File Nmae

: O_CREAT + // Create File

O_WRONLY + // Write Only

O_CCSID + // Use Code Page

O_TEXTDATA + // Text Data

O_TEXT_CREAT // Create File

: S_IRWXU // Owner has ALL Auth

: 1252 // PC Code Page

);

  p_ErrNo = sys_errno;

p_Msg = strerror (errno);
</snip>
The value received for the error message text is
