Re: Re: Re: ftp get from vms fails with "file currently locked"

It may be useful to put in further code that alerts you after X minutes when the lock has not been released -- because you are counting on another app to release the lock you could deadlock.

The normal duration of the batch job on my VMS VAX platform is > 1.5 hours, and it can legitimately be significantly longer than that. So, while I do appreciate your observation regarding deadlocks, I think ignoring it for this particular application is acceptable, at least for the time being. I can always revisit the issue should it actually occur.	[reply]
