Re: IFS Open Help...

I have found that I'm getting an error message of 3025 - No such path or
directory.  So obviously, I need to add something to the OFLAG.  What do I
need to make it create the path when it doesn't exist but overwrite it if
it does exist...

I have this routine that's suppose to create a new IFS document (if

already

exists, I want to overwrite what's there).  When I tested this program

last

week, it worked as expected.  But now that it's in production, it's not
working anymore.  I've even moved the data from this morning to the test
system to walk through the steps today still a no go.

When I stepped through the program...

FileName = '/html/imsinv/INV00100001676760.HTML'  // this is correct.
FileNamP = SPP:C71128539607BF90                   // I assume this is
correct.
OFLAG = 16777282
OMODE = 511
CP = 819

but...

open(FileNamP:Oflag:Omode:cp) = -1

I found in the archives that someone else needed to trim the FileName for
the openFile() routine that they were using, I'm wondering though, do I
need to have a trim about my FileNam on the FileNamP = %ADDR(FileNam)

line?

Well then again, the FileName will always be the same length of 35
characters. This process is new to me, please bear with me.

Thanks,

P.S. I am using the 'QC2LE' binding directory.

BegSr CreateIFSDocument#;
   // This code was copied from the web, therefore, I'm
   // not quite sure how this all works. But I'll Try to
   // explain it to the best of my knowledge.
   *In99 = *Off;
   // Form the file name you want to create in the IFS.
   FileNam  = IFSDir + 'INV' + DRGLCPY + %EditC(DRORD:'X') +
              '.HTML';
   // This is new to me, but I believe that I'm telling
   // this field to point to the address of FileNam
   FileNamP = %ADDR(FileNam);
   // setup the OFlag to indicate that we want
   // this file to be write only and to truncate
   // left over data when the file already exists.
   // Again, I don't know how this works, but
   // O_WRONLY = write only, O_TRUNC = truncate.
   Oflag = O_WRONLY + O_TRUNC + O_TEXTDATA;

   // Open the file name requested.
   If open(FileNamP:Oflag:Omode:cp) = -1;
      perror(FileNamP);
      *In99 = *On;
      LeaveSR;
   EndIf;

EndSr;
