RE: Help with a file allocation problem

I've had a lot of problems with heavy multi-membering in Lawson.  Adding and
removing members causes very brief exclusive locks on the entire file
object.  We had lots of jobstreams adding and removing their own physical
and logical file members.

In single member files I've also seen issues on overloaded systems where
repetitive CPYF MBROPT(*ADD) failed because the access paths had not caught
up from the previous copy/add's.  You might look at this if your file is a
keyed physical or there are many LF's.

I am having an intermittent problem copying a file. Below is a fragment from
the job log. As you can see, the job immediately aborts with an error. This
is a batch job. If I run the same job later it runs fine. Does anyone have
any suggestions?

Thanks,
