RE: Accessing data in IFS

["Bartell, Aaron L. (TC)" <ALBartell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is a programmer in my shop working on a program that opens a file in
the IFS to read in a template for an email.  Now remember, this file already
exists and is about 2k.  We are having very weird results to say the least.
When we call it interactively, the first time it returns a file descriptor
of 0.  The second time we call the program it returns a file descriptor of 3
and we get the desired output.

Any ideas?  I should mention that the open api is wrapped in a module.  The
module contains the code that came from "Who knew you could do that with
RPG. . ." for the open(), read(), write(), and close().

So right now to fix the problem she calls the #Open procedure twice which in
essence is calling the open() api four times(open, close, open; open, close,
open).

It is almost like it can't find the file the first time, but the second time
it finds it just fine.
