RE: DDM file access problems

Roger,

Thanks for the heads up, I didn't know there was a limit.  I'm pretty sure
that isn't our problem, the user in question is the only one trying to
access the file.

Thanks anyway,

Rick

Rick,

It has been a few years, so I'm not sure of the message number. When we
first set up a DDM application and had multiple users trying to connect, we
discovered that there were limits to the number of users who could use the
connection. IIRC, the DDM connection device was set up to allow 8 user
jobs.
Once a user used a connection, their job held it until the job ended or it
timed out. Our solution was to create a data queue with monitor program to
update the DDM files. That way we could have as many users as we wanted and
still only use one DDM line.

HTH,
