RE: Clear File - error

First of all display the job and verify that it actually has the qtemp file
open.  Second, does any of the programs that get called end with a return
and NOT setting on LR?  If so, they may still have the file open.  Are any
of the programs running in different activation groups.  I have old stuff
that is be changed to ILE and move out of the default activation group, thus
throwing off overrides and holding locks.  By overriding with share no, each
program called gets their own Open Data Path, the file is still shared, is
that really your intention?  How are you clearing the file with in the rpg,
calling APIs or calling QCMDEXC?  Are you fully qualifying the CLRPFM
command?

Just so thoughts,

I must be missing something here..  I have an old RPG program that opens a
work file in QTEMP with user open.  This is actually a flat file that has
been overridden in the CL with a SHARE(*NO) SEQONLY(*YES 204).  The RPG
inturn calls other programs where the file is used for updates and
calculations.  Once the process returns to the calling RPG, it tries to
clean up by clearing the member.  The logic does CLOSE on the file (using
the overriden name). Clears the member for next process.  But the clear
option on the file throws an error 'Member already in use'.  I even tried to
add a dlcobj on the original flat file but in vain.  Strangely, other flat
files with similar logic do not have this problem.  Could you kindly help me
resolve this?

Thanks in advance,
