Thank you  Vern! Sorry if  I have nt written properly. I mean to say that next 
incoming  file has to wait  automatically, while first incoming file in process 
of receiving ? Would be really greatful if you can tell me the previous 
discussion topics on this! I can go to archives and pick up the mails...It is 
keep checking file in the library or FTP..

Hi Murali

Need more information, please. What has to wait? At any rate, I'm not aware 
of any automatic way to know that a file is done. You could check for locks 
on it. A process that is writing to a physical file will hold a lock on 
it, perhaps exclusive, perhaps share-no update.

How do you detect that the file has arrived? I would think of an exit 
program for FTP, perhaps, that could tell you it is coming. Otherwise, you 
can keep checking the library for a new file. Or something else. I think 
there've been discussions here on how to do this.

There is save while active on the various save commands. Check out the help 
on that parameter, then go to the backup & recovery manual to get more 
details. You'll need to know the implications.
