I have an intermittent problem with my background process. The process creates 2 sequential files, one is a log file and the other is an error file, both are keyed by the date in the file name. Most of the time the process runs with no problems, terminates and then starts a new phantom job for the next days processing. Occasionally, the creation of the sequential log file experiences an error and although this isn't a good thing, you would think that the next days log file probably wouldn't have a problem. Unfortunately, that's not the case. Subsequent days processes also have trouble creating the log file. But, if you run the process manually, the log file is created with no problem.
I have not been able to identify what the cause of the problem is. Here are the main code snippets and the program error being displayed. Do you see a problem with my logic? I know my understanding of the Create and Status commands are limited, so there might be something I should be doing differently with those. Is there some additional logic that I can add to provide more information on the real cause of the error? Also, is there a better way to verify that a file handle has been assigned, other than my checking if the file handle variable is not numeric? Main Calling Code: * AIXLOG = DIR_NAME:'GMS':GMSDT:'.LOG' FOLOG = C.CREAT(AIXLOG,S$IRWXU + S$IROTH + S$IRGRP) IF NUM(FOLOG) THEN CRT 'Error Creating Log file, ':AIXLOG CRT 'Error number - ':FOLOG CRT 'Terminating process.' STOP END * C.CREAT Function FUNCTION C.CREAT(PATH, FLAGS) OPENSEQ PATH TO F.HANDLE THEN WEOFSEQ F.HANDLE ON ERROR CRT 'WEOFSEQ IN C.CREAT Failed for path ':PATH END END ELSE CREATE F.HANDLE ELSE F.HANDLE = STATUS() END END RETURN(F.HANDLE) Error message from Phantom log Window set for 09:00:00am to 09:15:00am PROCESSING FILES AT 09:00:05am ON 04-14-2010 Error Creating Log file, \\server042ia\logs\GMS041210.LOG Error number - 2 Terminating process. Any ideas or similar problems? Thanks for your help.
