Sara,
we had a similar problem with a program running within one of our nighty
cron-jobs. The programmer was a little lazy and opened (and closed) a file
several times within this program. It was a big dynamic, distributed file
with some secondary keys. Next morning (with some more load on the mashine)
we could rerun the program without any problems.
I programmed a work-around by putting a SLEEP statement in the ELSE clause
of the OPEN statement and trying the same OPEN a second time:
OPEN '',BUCHDAT TO BUCH ELSE
PRINT 'Error opening: "' : BUCHDAT : '"'
PRINT 'STATUS() = "' : STATUS() : '"'
PRINT 'Next try in 5 seconds!'
SLEEP 5
OPEN '', BUCHDAT TO BUCH ELSE
PRINT 'Second try unsucessfull! Gave up.'
PRINT 'STATUS() = "' : STATUS() : '"'
STOP
END
PRINT 'Second try sucessfull!!!!!!!'
END
Probably not the best solution ("quick and dirty") but it works. From time
to time we get the message, that the second try was sucessfull and programm
never crashed again.
