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!

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

Has anyone seen this before?
