RE: AS/400 Toolkit - Closing Files

[Timothy Sullivan <TSullivan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dave,

        You have a good point that we have discussed.  What are the
negatives to leaving the files open on the AS/400?  We can possibly query
many files (+100 an increasing all the time) when running the application so
the question becomes what is the impact when we have multiple users querying
multiple files.  It may just be that it better to leave them open but it
very hard to judge since we have no good way to measure the pros and cons.
