Re: V5R3 - CPYTOIMPF fails with Error 3029

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When you see an error number like this (3029) you can find out what it 
means by prefixing it with CPE and displaying the message description. 
For example:

    DSPMSGD CPE3029

In this case, it means "resource busy" which implies that the stream 
file (A2057LI.txt) is in use by another job.  You can use iSeries 
Navigator to see who is using it.

RCLRSC won't help you.  RCLRSC is for objects of type *FILE (i.e. 
physical and logical files) not for stream files (*STMF).  (It releases 
some other things as well, such as static storage.  Prompt RCLRSC and 
press F1 for details).   Also RCLRSC only affects the default activation 
group -- I sure hope your ILE programs aren't running in the default 
activation group!!

Anyway... use iSeries Navigator to find out who's using the file, and 
get them to exit their program and/or sign off the system to clear the 
lock on the object, then run the CPYTOIMPF again.
