[U2] OPENSEQ and the LOCKED Option
Unidata 7.1.20 ECLTYPE P Whenever I try to include the LOCKED option in the OPENSEQ statement my test program does not compile. If I leave it out it does compile. When two users run this program one executes the OPENSEQ command and the other appears hung...no message, nothing. When the first user closes the file the second user continues on. Since LOCKED appeared to allow me to tell the other users that the file is locked and not to give up hope what do you folks do to get around this dilemma? Thanks.

Re: [U2] OPENSEQ and the LOCKED Option
I've usually only used it where I expect one user to be accessing the file at a time anyway. However, it should (mine does on UD 7.1.6) compile. You are using an END before the next THEN or ELSE - that might do it. hth Colin Alfke Calgary, Canada -Original Message- From: Al DeWitt Unidata 7.1.20 ECLTYPE P Whenever I try to include the LOCKED option in the OPENSEQ statement my test program does not compile.

Re: [U2] OPENSEQ and the LOCKED Option
You need to change line 6 to END ELSE (to end the locked clause) -Original Message- From: Al DeWitt Here is my admittedly simple test program and the results: 001: IMPORT.FILE = FILE_IN.CSV 002: CLOSE.IT = 1 003: OPENSEQ DELTAIMPORT,IMPORT.FILE TO FILEIN 004: LOCKED 005: CRT 'FILE IS LOCKED BY SOMEONE ELSE' ; DUMMY='' ; INPUT DUMMY 006: ELSE 007: ERR.CD = STATUS() 008: CRT 'ERROR CODE=':ERR.CD ; DUMMY='' ; INPUT DUMMY 009: CLOSE.IT = 0 010: END 011: IF CLOSE.IT THEN 012: CRT 'HOORAY, FILE_IN IS OPENED' ; DUMMY='' ; INPUT DUMMY 013: CLOSESEQ FILEIN 014: END 015: END *--: FIB Filed ALD1 in file BP.
