What are the permissions to all of the directories to the path in which the
files reside? The user running the script must have execute permissions on
each directory in the path.
We do a lot of this sort of thing, via scripts that are started by cron.
The only significant difference I can see in our scripts, is that instead of
running the programs they way you are, we catalog the programs with the
LOCAL option (which really just creates a VOC pointer to the compiled object
code), then instead of:
$UDTBIN/udt<>$LOG
RUN BP CONV_ORD -N

We do:
$UDTBIN/udt PHANTOM OP610
Where OP610 is an example of a VOC pointer to a LOCAL cataloged program.
This runs the program as a phantom and automatically creates an output log
in _PH_

Subject: [U2] OSBWRITE problem
I am having a problem with an OSBWRITE statement.
We exchange data with Chicago, Japan, the UK, etc. We have worked out a
method that we have been using for years withoput problem. On downloads
the sender (AS400 or 390) submits a request to run a *nix script on our
RedHat server. The script does some things including running a UniBasic
program like this
$UDTBIN/udt<>$LOG
RUN BP CONV_ORD -N
bye
EOD
This is a method we haver used for many years with no problems. The
script and UniBasic program run with errors. However. When run through
the script, a particular OSBWRITE command does not write anything to the
file.
Running the UniBasic program from ECL like this:
:RUN BP CONV_ORD
Writes data to the file with no problem.
There are other OSBWRITEs in the same program that run fine either way.
The only difference is that they use relative paths
FILES_AS400/poconv.pad, while the problem uses absolute paths
/NTN/DATA/CORPORATE/FILES_AS400/CUST_XFER.
I check the STATUS after the OSBWRITE and status is 0.
The file is owned by the same user that runs the program and permissions
are rw-rw-r--
umask for the user is 002
The environment in the script is setup by calling a boilerplate script
containing this:
# Set up the CMI environment
CMIHOME=/NTN/CMI/TRANS4M
UDTHOME=/NTN/CMI
UDTBIN=/usr/ud/bin
TERM=vt100
export CMIHOME UDTHOME UDTBIN TERM
PATH=$UDTBIN:/usr/local:PROCESSES:$PATH
export PATH
#EOF EOF
It seems to only occur when the subroutine is invoked through a script and
the filename uses an absolute path.
