RE: Too many files open -- MIDRANGE-L

I'm using ACTGRP *CALLER.  My RPG program calls a CLP to create the
file, then fills it, then calls the same CLP again to send the file,
then starts over.

The job is doing 20-30 CPYTOSTMF's.  Is there something I can run after
the CPYTOSTMF to clean up better?

Thanks.

I wonder if a RCCLACTGRP would help, assuming it's running in a named
activation group. Also, I'll bet the system is counting each file in the
CPYTOSTMF as an open file.
