Re: CPF5125 | Help Needed.

Siva,
If I were in your situation, I will check following points,

1. What is the scope of my override(If Pgm A has been submitted from Program B)?
2. At what level I should issue commit, this is tricky, even if these programs 
are called in the same job, you will have different commit Ids if commit in 
both programs.

The approach I would think is better than this is as follows,
if there is going to be only one record or say less number of I/Os involved in 
Program A 
then 
Pass the record to be created in PRgm A to Program B using an Array as 
parameter. Each element of this array is going to be an Externally described 
data structure.

this way I think we will not have any headaches of Overrides, commits...

This is just a suggestion. Hopefully we get some more inputs for your problem

regards,
Srini

Hello!
  One of my job blows with the error "I/o Error CPF5125 on Opening the file F' 
once in a while. After long hard fight that on particular rare occasion, a 
program (say A) is called and it opens a file F in input mode and returns the 
control without switching on the LR and that conflicts with my intial program 
(say program B) which always opens the same file  output to write a new record. 
Since the file has shared ODP as *YES, B bombs with this error once A has got 
rhe rare chance to execute.
   
  I tried my best to fix the program A to open in output mode but it causes a 
ripple effect in others existing programs. So I decided to override the file F 
in my calling program with Shared ODP as *NO with the override level as *JOB 
before calling the program A and remove the override once the call to A gets 
over.
   
  After the changes, when I checked the joblog, F gets opened in two instances 
onw with Shared ODP *no and other as *YES. Hopefully this fixes my problem. But 
I want to make sure that that I did not open the panther box ;)
   
  I know it will be hardr to comment without seeing the code, but any 
suggestion and checkpoints are most welcome.
   
  Thanks!
  Sivakumar
