The program was working fine on every month end until it bombed on the last one with the following error message EMFILE 3452 (Too many open files for this process). I understand that the maximum number of file descriptors has been reached. How do I change the maximum allowed value of opened file descriptors?
I think the problem is more likely that you're not closing a file or directory properly. I simply can't imagine that you legitimately have hundreds of file descriptors open.
In my rpg I use the c function (Eval Rc = Close(Err_Flag)) to close the processed file.
The parameter to the close() API is the descriptor that you want to close. It's not an error flag.
Does your program check to see if Rc is -1? If it is, it means that the close is failing and therefore something is wrong with your code.
