Re: Error CPF4102

Hi Rob,
 
I have added member to file using ADDPFM and it worked.
Thanks a lot.

Yes.

A member missing from a file is not normally something an operator is
supposed to guess how to fix.  So doing something like ADDPFM and adding a
member with the same name as the file may, or may not, work.  Some work
files often have members named after batches.  Like a GL transaction file
with batch members from APPOST, ARPOST, SUSIE, etc.  I worked with one
software vendor who even had a batch control file to keep track of these.

Often haphazard guesses to patch stuff like this can leave you looking
like Mickey Mouse in the snippet "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" from Disney's
"Fantasia".

Then there are some who feel that, in general, multiple member files are
the devil's spawn.  One possible technique (all risks, as usual, are your
own) is to look back at that DSPFD again.  If the "Maximum members" is 1
then it may be possible that it just needs a member named after the file.
