If it returned a positive number, that means there is no error. You
should only check for error if it returns negative value (I think).

The return code is 22 which is the number of bytes written.

Subject: Re: Error 3450: Descriptor is not valid on write to IFS
Just curious to know what the value of rtncd is after executing the
ifsput? I notice that you are retrieving the error without checking to
see if the return code is ok or not. As far as I know the error code
does not get reset between api calls. You should only lookup the error
code when api indicated that there is an error.

I am writing a program to output information to the IFS. The first step
is to copy static data from an existing IFS file into the new one.
After that add the dynamic data. So far I just have the piece to copy
the static data.
The code was cloned from an existing production program and is used
anywhere we want to access the IFS from RPG. The code looks the same in
both programs. I'm missing something though. I have searched the
archives and InfoCenter but haven't seen anything yet that doesn't look
right. In one of the archive posts Scott Klement asked about the file
description changing before the write. The descriptor does change
between the first open and the second open of the output file but not
between that point and the write. The files involved only exist for the
process I am building so someone else modifying them is not a concern at
this point.
The program code can be seen here
http://code.midrange.com/11f767043f.html. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
