Re: Too Many Files Open Error

[J.Beckeringh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Just a guess: do you use 'opendir' for reading directories? And if so, do 
you use 'closedir' as well?

Hi Group,

                 I have a system running that, in part, accepts base64 
jpegs, converts them
to binary, and writes them to the IFS (kudos to Scott Klement for his 
base64
routines - great!).  It runs fine with one exception.  Periodically, it
returns a 'Too many open files for this process.' error when trying to 
open
a file for write.

                 Obviously I must be failing to close files somewhere, but 
I have not been
able to locate the fault.  It would surely help if I could, at failure 
time,
list all the open files giving me a place to look but I haven't found
anything that would let me do that.  It is barely possible the problem is
not in the module I am examining (it's a fairly complex process overall). 
I
would appreciate any pointers or suggestions - api's whatever that could
help me nail this down.  Can you get a list of open ifs files?

Thanks
