RE: IFS problem with V5R4 upgrade

The documentation for the Unix type API's has this info but Scott Klement's web site has examples of using these API's (they're probably in the archives as well). Take a look at his IFS tutorial at http://www.scottklement.com/rpg/ifs.html.

Matt,

whats the process to determine the actual failure from the API ?
Can you point to a technique.

Thanks.

Are you calling the API to get the error number when it fails? That will
tell you what the problem is.

Has anyone seen this problem ?

I have an RPGLE program that reads a file on the IFS which is created by a
PC program (of mine).
This program has worked successfully for years over all OS/400 versions from
V5R1
Last week a Customer upgraded from V5R3 to V5R4 and the program now fails on
the open() of the IFS file (return code -1)
All other V5R4's including ours work OK.

The strange thing is that if I interactively debug the program - it works.

Any thoughts ?

Regards

Ian Patterson
