Re: API to check if IFS file is buzy ?

[fkolmann@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Ah, my ignorance is showing, profuse apologies.  Saw something about
'semaphores' once but it was all C code, and I dont know C.  Also is the IFS
files the as the files in the QDLS folders.  I once did  something like this but
I sent up 2 files. The first file was the one with the data. The second file had
only one  record (byte?) but it triggered the process to process the first file
and I knew that the first file must have been finished with by the time I got 
the
second file.
