You're first test is always permissions. Permissions, permissions, I hate them. -Original Message- From: Al DeWitt adew...@stylmark.com To: (u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org) u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Sent: Thu, Apr 11, 2013 2:10 pm Subject: [U2] WRITESEQ Error I have a program

Al brings up a good point though... Where would one find what error 9 means exactly? I scanned the documentation and didn't see any mention of an error 9 for WRITESEQ or even described in STATUS() which is where a lot of the IO errors show up. On Thu, Apr 11, 2013 at 3:45 PM, Wjhonson

I initially thought it was a permissions issue as well, however, I am a domain admin and I get the same error. If it is a permissions error than something has changed that I am not aware of. Al DeWitt -Original Message- From: Wjhonson [mailto:wjhon...@aol.com] Sent: Thursday, April

Try to read and write that same file *from* the O/S level, NOT from within Universe. Can you do that? Does it complain? Permissions are nasty beasts, they sometimes see *you* and your *inside Universe persona* as two different creatures. -Original Message- From: Al DeWitt

It is an error code thrown from the c functions like lseek or write. It means 'Bad file descriptor' - typically occurs when a program cannot write to the file for any of the following reasons: Growing beyond ulimit, writing to a read-only file (either opened as read only or permission issues),

Are you saying the C can distinguish between these various error, but Universe cannot? Also is there a list of these error codes somewhere that we could grab? -Original Message- From: Daniel McGrath dmcgr...@rocketsoftware.com To: U2 Users List u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org

I quite often found that the file had either not been sequentially opened, or it had been closed before the writeseq command. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Al DeWitt Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2013
