Please educate me on OPENSEQ. I have some code that is giving me an error.
The funny thing is that I stole the code from a working program: The code:
064: FNAME = 'LLV':FNAME:'.XLS'
065: OPENSEQ \\SERVER\SHARE-NAME\FOLDER-NAME\LrgLbrVariances,FNAME TO
OUT.FILE ELSE
066: *OPENSEQ
I've never used OPENSEQ on a remote drive like that. I presume you can
LIST LRGLBRVARS @ TCL without difficulty right? If so, I would think the
OPENSEQ should work with that just fine. May I also presume that you looed
at FNAME and a file with that name really does exist in that directory file?
I'm pretty sure Universe can open windows SMB drives, but I don't know that
I ever tried it with other MV systems. Keep in mind the most important
thing about windows SMB drive shares: unless you are logged into the
desktop, it doesn't automatically map them. You may need to issue a net
use
If you have LRGLBRVARS as a VOC pointer and can LIST LRGLBRVARS then
OPENSEQ 'LRGLBRVARS',FNAME TO OUT.FILE ELSE NULL should do it if you know it
is present (if the XLS is open with Excel you will usually get an abort)
Although I personally would check it is actually there via normal read

I could be wrong, but I seem to recall that OPENSEQ supports two syntaxes
Option 1 has 2 arguments: openseq voc.pointer, filename to ...
Option 2 has only 1 argument: openseq absolute.path.to.filename to ...
Also, if the server where your shared folder resides is not Windows, then
filenames
Thanks for your reply Kevin.
I can list LRGLBRVARS at TCL. I put a dummy file inside to prove it.
FNAME does not exist. In the code I stole this from the name is created anew
each time. It always open the file empty, allows me to populate and close
it. However, in this code it's not

I'm a Domain Admin so permissions is not an issue. I'm going back to the
beginning and start over. Maybe I have an issue I'm not seeing.

Yeah, that sort of thing is very specific to the software application

Not much way around it but to code it right into the programs that do the
work.

What you're seeing is the correct behavior of OPENSEQ. I think what's causing
the confusion is there are multiple error conditions possible when dealing
with opening a flat file for writing. The non-existence of the file prior to
opening may or may not be an error depending on your usage
Dan, Thanks.
I downloaded and installed the Extensible Administration Tool it. Do I have to
create a new U2 Server in order to use it?

Sorry Mr. Tony G.,
I did not know it existed until last week. I believe I misunderstood what you

Perhaps I still do. I have learned a lot from lurking on your boards.

Hi:
The problem is not whether you need a wiki or not. The problem is the
documentation is terrible and in most cases non-existent. A year ago at U2
University a majority of us discussed this with the board of Rocket U2.
The agreed with us they would fix this and show some examples as well.
*If* someone were to start a section, page, whatever at Pickwiki for example, I
would be happy to contribute what little I know about the U2 Admin tool. At
least as far as it works on Windows.

You know, I'd have no problem updating documentation to a wiki site,
where I know all documentation would go and I could continue to
reference the documentation in the future. The Pickwiki is a little
disorganized, but since I do most of my database work with U2 I'd be
happy to update
