Thanks Vern, I will look into that function/API

Descriptors

You could look at the fcntl function - I was involved in a
thread a while ago here that mentioned this API - one way of
calling it (duping an FD) will get you the next available FD
- I think you could then go through from start to that
number and try to close them.

That's a very vague recollection - Chuck had some input
there, as well.

Running V6.1 We have system that creates a lot of files in

actually)

CPF9897 socket(): Too many open files for this process.

Apparently there are a lot of File Descriptors being left
allocated
during this process.

I have not tracked down the program at issue here (I am
thinking some
program is not closing the file)



But my question is, until I can find the culprit and get
it fixed is
there a way to force all the open file descriptors to
close or
deallocate (not sure of the correct term)

I ran the program CALL PGM(QP0FPTOS) PARM(*DUMPLFS
'999999')(where
99999 is the job number from the job getting this error)

A lot of foreign stuff in the report but I do see:

Max Number of Descriptors Allowed (size) 524282

Max Number of Descriptors Allocated 47

Min Deallocated Descriptor 45



1) I need something to do short term to get this
program running

2) Then I will need to track this issue down



Any Suggestions on #1 or #2 would be greatly appreciated



John
