Re: ALCOBJ and OPEN occurs?

["Bob Crothers" <bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Why does the CLP put a lock on the file that you cant open it for add?
If possible, remove this lock.

Or, when the error occurs in your NEP, monitor for it, have it do a
delay and retry.

You will also get errors if there is currently a backup in progress
against the file you are adding to.  For this reason, you should
probably implement the error routine regardless of what you do to your
CLP.
