Re: Calling Scott's IFSDIR Stored procedure error

Hi Art

I think you have hit the maximum number of file descriptors - each open gets a file descriptor.

At 7.4 I see this in the IBM i: Maximum Capacities document -

     Default maximum number of file and socket descriptors per job - 200
     Maximum number of file and socket descriptors per job - 2,500,000

Footnote says this -

     Default can be changed with DosSetRelMaxFH() - Change the Maximum Number of File Descriptors (see UNIX-Type APIs in the information center.)

Hope this helps!

Vern

I'm calling this many times to check if a file wildcard exists. After
using it about 100 times it's returns this error:

text message returned from the program is: opendir: Too many open files for
this process. .

Has anyone seen this before?
