Steven,

We have run into the same problem and decided to eliminate the CPYF (which I assume you are following by a CLRPFM to avoid copying the same records twice?) by writing a small program that has the origin file as UP with the mainline code consisting of WRITE TARGET, DELET ORIGIN.

Depending on the importance of the sequence of input records you can change the ORIGIN file to reuse deleted records.

All,
I have a CL program which runs from midnight until 6am every night , in this
pgm it calls an RPG progam every 5 minutes which adds records to a file.
I have another program which runs every 1/2 hour in this time period and
copies the file which is being added to , to a remote location.
This is working fine except for the fact that every 1/2 hour the 1st pgm reports an error , Error message CPF4128 appeared during OPEN . This is on the file which is being copied. Presumably the copy CL statement is locking the file , so the 1st program cannot write to it.
