Re: MCH3402 received when calling getHtmlIfsMult

It "should", yes. But I've seen many cases where my programs open and
close files/sockets, but the customer also is doing it on their own and
they forget to close them.

The limit isn't actually that big of how many can be open if I recall.. and
I know how busy your system is. :)

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

Can you post the job log? Maybe there's a clue there. It could be
something like too many open sockets/files. Especially if in your

program

you are opening stream files and maybe not closing them all the time.

Y'all

We have one user who gets an MCH3402 a couple times a week when creating
receipts - the programs uses CGIDEV2 to create HTML files used to email.

It seems to happen after a busy morning of this. And it is to only 1

user.

Generally, the program does things in this order -

getHtmlIfsMult (only 1 template, though)
clrHtmlBuffer
updHtmlVar/wrtSection as needed
wrtHtmlToStmf

There is no information in CGIDEBUG that helps.

MCH3402 generally means that something a pointer points to is gone,
right? But it has to be in the getHtmlIfsMult.

I don't think we are running out of memory, and that isn't the cause for
MCH3402, is it, anyhow?

Our solution right now is to wrap a monitor/endmon around the call to
getHtmlIfsMult, display something to the user, then back to the caller.
They are able to go to a different app and resend the receipts.

OK, enough, TIA
Vern
