Re: MCH3402 received when calling getHtmlIfsMult

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Brad

I have the job log, will post it here or where y'all can see it. I don't 
remember seeing anything, though. Opens and closes would be done by the 
functions of CGIDEV2. I do wonder about the template file itself, it has 
to be opened every time, but supposedly only if it has changed. Also, 
the user has responded to the messages with a C until there are no more, 
then can repeat the operation and is successful.

But I'll bring more info here.

Thanks
Vern
