Re: ANOTHER ANNOYING THING

From: Bill Barnes

This was my fault for not closing the object. Be that as it may, when
moving in the AS400 nothing is deleted until the command completes
successfully. RSE doe it different. I went to move a source member
from one library to another and forgot that I still had the member open
on both libraries, RSE decided to punish me and deleted both members
leaving me the fun of having to recover from tape. Yippee Ky Yay Ky
Oh. I will concede that I should have been more careful, but iSeries
doesn't let you do such things. I assume there is an archive or
something somewhere but I can't find it.

I tried the same thing. I opened two source members in LPEX editors, then
tried to copy from one to the other, using right-click Copy and right-click
Paste in RSE. It hung for 30 seconds like I would expect and then failed
with an object lock error in my iSeries job log.

I then tried to move the member using right-click Move, and again after 30
seconds I got an error. This time it was a pop-up dialog that said I'd
gotten a CPF3156 error (which is also an object lock).

All RSE does is a CPYSRCF, so there's no way it could delete both members.
I must admit I'm perplexed, Bill.
