RE: Record Lock on Read from IFS file? - Issue Resolved (Although a question still lingers)

Rory,

Thanks for the kind words. I tried to take the posting guidelines to heart.
Even more importantly, I am very sensitive to the fact that everyone here
are busy professionals, and I want to avoid wasting anyone's time.

To all, regarding the issue at hand... Instead of a direct call, I
submitted the second program and everything worked fine.

It occurs to me that I am not monitoring the return from FTP_QUIT. If that
was to fail, could the still open FTP connection cause the streamfile access
to hang? Just a rhetorical question. I am happy that it is working.

Thanks again, to all.

Scott S.,

I think the option to submit the second job sounds like a good
solution, both short-term and also long-term - it gives you more
flexibility, since you can put it into any subsystem you want and/or
hold it for later or whatever.

Also, FWIW, I think that this is one of the best first questions I've
seen
- you've provided lots of information for everyone to mull over,
explained exactly what it is that's not working and explained what
you've tried, as well as what hasn't worked. And the email title is
meaningful! Short of providing a code sample (which might not help here
anyway), many kudos to you.

Rory

The files originate on a remote system. FTP is used to retrieve them

streamfiles, and then write to native files used in the ERP
application.

Sorry if that was not clear.
