Well it is slightly better than "An error has occurred."

Subject: Internal error compiling open clp source file on ifs

Folks:

File this in the FYI category.

I wrote a java program that generates a CL source file in the IFS (using a
IFSFileWriter object). After the source is generated, it invokes the
CRTBNDCL command to compile the source.

I encountered a problem where I got a CPFAC05 - Internal error in program
QCLSTMF. Return code 7 error.

The odd thing was, I could compile the source from a green screen session
without a problem.

After a bit of digging, I discoveredI wasn't closing the IFS file in the
java program before invoking the compile command.

When I added a close to the IFS File writer object, and invoked the
compile command, it worked fine.

An understandable issue, but maybe the message could be clearer.
