[And Brad Said:]  Pete,

I had this same problem.  Also, if you are running File I/O service
programs in the DAG, and for some reason the service program bombs, the
next time you call it it will think the file is closed and you will get
another error.  I tried many things to get around this but the only
thing that worked was using a named AG and reclaiming the unused AG.

I also highly suggest running any programs that use service programs in
a named AG, and specifying *CALLER on the Sevice Program option.
