RE: Too many files open -- MIDRANGE-L

There are less than 20 files open when I view the job, the system is not
really doing anything (this runs at 5am before most people start), and
there is 1 gig of memory.

V5R1.  

Thanks.

Art:

I don't know of a specific maximum number of open files, but (in many
cases) the architecture of the system limits you by memory.  So three
questions:

1.)   How many open files in this job.
2.)   How much memory on the system.
3.)   Is the system generally busy of idle, apart from your job.

In a long "working ok" process, I am receiving this error now:

  2800 - CPYTOSTMF FROMMBR('/QSYS.LIB/QTEMP.LIB/EDI214.FILE/EDI214.MBR')

  TOSTMF('/TMP/EDI856.TXT') STMFOPT(*REPLACE) DBFCCSID(37)

  STMFCODPAG(*PCASCII)

Too many open files for process.

 Cause . . . . . :   The process maximum number of open files has been
reached.
    No additional files can be opened.

 Recovery  . . . :   Close some of the open files or wait until some
files have
   been closed and then retry the operation.



I added a RCLRSC before the CPYTOSTMF, but that didn't help things.

This CLP copies files to the IFS (lots of them), then uses Brad Stones
GETURI to transmit them to a web service.

Any ideas?
