RE: Issue in DLTF command after RCVF.

Hello Siva,

Seems a waste of effort to delete the file after reading just one record, not 
sure what you are doing but maybe you should change the program that fills the 
file to only write one record thus saving time and fixing this problem.  :-)

Subject: Issue in DLTF command after RCVF.


In a CL program, i am using the RCVF command  to read the first record of a PF 
which is having tons of records. 
After this,  DLTF command is issued to delete the file but the system is not 
allowing to do so because the system will make an exclusive lock on the file 
when RCVF command is executed. 
An error message specifying that the file is still in use is displayed. Is it 
possible to unlock this file before DLTF command so that it could be deleted? 

It is found that if all the records of the file is read, then DLTF command will 
be executed normally (i.e., the file will be deleted). but tehr euirement is 
not to read the tons of record before deleting teh file, 

Is there any solution to delete the file than by reading all the records in the 
file in one shot.

Share your thoughts...

 

Regards

Siva.
