Hi Art,

What you have to understand about this error message is that it doesn't
really mean "files".  It means "file descriptors".  It could be that you
have too many stream files opened with the open() API (which CPYTOSTMF
uses under the covers) but it could also be too many open sockets, too
many open pipes, or a combination.

I'd be very surprised if it had.  RCLRSC only works in the default
activation group -- which I doubt is in use here, since in order to use
things like stream files, pipes and sockets, you really have to be an ILE
program.

RCLACTGRP might be more appropriate.  But even so, you're working around
the problem isntead of fixing it.

Somewhere the close() API should be called to close a socket, pipe or
stream file, and it isn't being called.  Eventually you're using up all of
the avialable descriptors, and it's giving you errors.

My best guess is that the problem isn't in CPYTOSTMF, but rather is
somewhere in GETURI.  Perhaps there's a step that closes the HTTP
connection that you're not running?  Otherwise, I'd assume it's a bug, and
ask Brad for help.
