RE: stand alone modules (no service program) and handling file I/ O

["Mark A. Manske" <mmanske@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just noticed something about this thread - I am also on the web400 one, have
an issue
that I believe you have answered for me.

I have a rather complex web site (CGI-RPG) working with V5R1 -

the programs do have usropns because of not knowing which lib
to use, this is based upon the user ID,

the file I override to seems to be getting left open on me for
the next web user (since these are not new jobs, and I have them
all in the same activation group, if I understand what is going on here
I need "this type" of web programs to have AG *new)

Let me ask this question then too,
what happens to the files and such in the "old" AG since the job itself
does not end and the "old" AG is not "destroyed"

TIA
Mark A. Manske

Dean,

%Open is available in V4R4, but you may not want to bother with it if you're
relying on the AG to clean up resources. Just leave off the "USROPN" option
on your F-spec, and the file(s) will be implicitly opened upon program
activation. They will remain open until the AG is destroyed. Your example
would be a good candidate for the use of a *NEW AG.


Regards,

John Taylor
