Re: [U2] File pointer question
With the help IBM I was able to resolve the problem. Fixing it required changing a pointer. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/File-pointer-question-tp17788496p17870502.html Sent from the U2 - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
Re: [U2] File pointer question
Nice idea - but change @WHO to @PATH to catch the situation that you have two accounts with the same name under different paths.

Re: [U2] File pointer question
Is it possible some other program has the file open in the other directory and its sharing the file handle? Either a COMMON issue or the rotating file pool?

Re: [U2] File pointer question
If UniData, you may have overwritten the VOC entry in your VOC file. Try looking at the VOC item using the lowercase voc entry to see if that sheds any light.
