File already in use by CL

I have a CL program which does the following:

DCLF(FTPOUT)
CLRPFM (FTPOUT)
...fill FTPOUT during a scripted FTP process
...do RCVF for the records in FTPOUT to check for errors

CALL(FTP2PGM)

Second program:
PGM(FTP2PGM)
DCLF(FTPOUT)
CLRPFM(FTPOUT)
...similar to previous process


The 2nd program errors out during the CLRPFM(FTPOUT) with an error saying
that the file is already in use.  I'm assuming that this is from the first
program already opening the file and calling a second CL which also tries
to use the file, but I'm not really sure what's going wrong.
