RE: FTP - Check if file is in use

[GKern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I have an app that issues FTP commands to generate a directory listing of 
the folder. I then use RPG to read the directory listing, and parse out 
the file name value. I then pass the file name value to a function that 
checks for the existence of a file in the IFS. If the file exists in the 
IFS then I can move it to where ever I want in the IFS. If I can't get a 
lock on it to move it I use the Sleep() function from QCLE2 and delay for 
a bit and try again. By virtue of being able to move it I'd know the FTP 
has finished.

Hope that helps.

Regards, Jerry
