I want to process Unix files in a sub-task. The files are being written into by applications in other address spaces. I open the file (BPX1OPN). I need to read all the records. errno EAGAIN seems to say that there are no new records in the file. So I would WAIT and retry. Does this make sense ? I also want to know if the file is still being written into. BPX1FST (file status) will return an area. Does the field ST_NLINK tell me how many "OPENs" have been done ? If I'm the only one connected to the file, would ST_NLINK have a value of 1?
Thanks in advance, Pierre. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
