The return code -5 is does NOT always happen on a disk full
condition.
I have an exec FTP2HOME that does 450+ FTPs to users' homes drives.
It creates a <userid> VMFTP macro on a VDISK and then invokes VMFTP to
exec it. The FTP2HOME EXEC creates and runs 384 macros before it
gets a -5 RC. There were numerous -5 RCs after that one. I
discovered from logs that the -5 occurred often after the first one
occurred, always far along in the process.
I did the same FTP commands manually on the user who first got the
-5. It worked! Then I ran all of the remaining macros with VMFTP
and there were no more -5 RCs.
I run this process at 3:00 am every day with essentially the same
files (class lists for faculty) and this morning there were NO -5 RCs.
However I did receive some RC=550 indicating no space.
Could it be a storage corruption problem? It seems that whatever
causes the first -5 continues to do so.
