Scott can stand back from the ledge.:-))
and thanks to other contributors.
Due to a bug in my error decoding I was getting a duff response to the error
procedure during open(). Quick check with Scott's tutorial & I fixed that
problem.
The system is now reporting error code 3029 (Resource busy) for the IFS file
during open().
The file in question is written by a PC (my program).
As I stated before, this works perfectly on all other V5R4 boxes.
What I now suspect is a resource (or ptf) issue with Netserver.
Although I can prove that the PC program is writing and freeing the file
immediately, it seems that the file remains unavailable to my RPG program
for anything up to 15 seconds.
By looping the open() every second I get 80%+ success with 11 seconds.

Subject: Re: IFS problem with V5R4 upgrade
When open() fails, what is the value of errno?
Please don't tell me that you only check the return code of open() and
you don't check errno! Please don't tell me that, I might have to jump
off a ledge.

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 ?
