Re: Dealing with CPE3029 in CPYFRMIMPF

Patrik,

The lock that Excel seems to do is *not* exclusive. As I mentioned, a MOV or REN is accepted. But, to answer your question, I can't make that folder read only.

Hello Mark,

The situation is that there are .csv files in the IFS that might be open in Excel. All the program is attempting to do is copy the data into a PF. It seems to want an exclusive lock.
Another idea, inspired from Peter's reply.

Do you need those CSV files being writable by Excel? If no, why not make this folder/share readonly for users? If Excel sees the file being readonly, it presumedly can't or at least won't request an (exclusive) write lock on it.

:wq! PoC
