RE: [WEB400] strange behavior with web site programs/files

["Mark A. Manske" <mmanske@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry for not getting back sooner - I have not had much time to really dig
into this,
"luckily" we have been having power outages enough to IPL on a very regular
basis,
thus ending all the activation groups.

I am hoping next week will give me time to dig in - what I am seeing though
in more
detail is because of "how" I needed to use usropn based upon the customer
hitting
the web site, and thus changing libraries for data files, I have seen that I
can have
the same data path open, and multiple overrides in the same cgi instance -
It looks
confusing enough to me, I can only imagine what the AS/400 is thinking.

I have a strong feeling that actgrp *new will solve it, but the overhead
could kill
the web apps considering this is a function that used to be a green screen,
so I have
many cgi's interrelating to each other (It may come down to simply deciding
which file
to read from (even though ovrdbf made this much more simpler to code) at the
time of
reading/updating files, and have my test lib/files in the list.

I will let you know by the end of next week - whatever works, I have about
75 programs
to "fix" - so I hope the solution is "easy" :)

Mark,

Did you ever discover what caused your files to remain open after your CGI
programs ended?  Did you try USROPN and explicitly handle the open and close
in your code?  Did that solve the problem?  Or, did you try running your CGI
programs in a *New activation group?

I think you're dealing with a common issue.  Have you gained some insight
that would help other CGI programmers?

Thanks,
