OPENSEQ statement

[karthik]

Hi all,

when i run the below code, it goes to the else clause even after setting the environment variable JBCEMULATE to "seq"(before compiling) and also the openseq_creates is set to true in Config_EMULATE.

FN.SEQ="TEST.BP/CUST.TXT"
OPENSEQ FN.SEQ TO F1.OUT ELSE
         CRT "ERR1"
END

I know to use the CREATE syntax in the else clause, however i wanted to know why the sequential file is not getting created?

 

jBASE: Major 5.0 , Minor 6

AIX 5.3.0.0

 

Regards

Karthik

Add a SETTING clause to the OPENSEQ statement to see what error is being returned.

Thanks dan. After setting the SETTING clause, its displaying "128" error msg.

"128" error means, that there is no file which You try to open.

Try to use this...

FN.SEQ = "TEST.BP/CUST.TXT"
OPENSEQ FN.SEQ TO F1.OUT ELSE CREATE F1.OUT ELSE CRT "Can't open or
create file"

[Daniel Klein]

In that case, you need to change the code to:

OPENSEQ FN.SEQ TO F1.OUT ELSE NULL
