Check for file permissions.

Try to issue a CLOSESEQ and then try DELETESEQ.

Thanks for the reply, i already used a closeseq before the deleteseq, but my routine is a multi threaded routine that is attached to the tsa.service, is it because of that i am not able to delete the sequential file?, i cannot get the details for the error code that the system returned any where in the manual, can you tell me what error -1 means..?, cause that should help identify the error. ecpecting your reply, thanks in advance.

Hello Arun,

I have 'been told' that you never multi-thread a job that writes to a sequential file. I suggest you check you file after it completes for the accureness of the content.

Hello Takoor,

In my case i am using the multi-threaded routine because i have to attach it to the batch, and also i am not writting in to a sequential file, i am just reading the content of sequential files and use it create transactions in T24, i use OFS TO RAISE transactions, also i use the deleteseq only at the end of the processing, even then it is throwing an error, i have to check this again in another database, thanks for the help takoor.

If I am not wrong, we can write a .POST routine which executes after all the agents for that particular job is finished.

Try this... But I havent tried...

If u found, update us...

hi M A LA I,

Thanks for the reply. By .POST Routine you mean write a routine by name <routine-name>.POST, how to check if a batch record has the type POST. thanks in advance. rgds Arun
