How to use "Exception handling *PSSR"
Posted on 2004-09-16
I using RPG IV, and the OS/400 is V4R3 and the RPGLE is V4R2.
I have a program which uses a logical file XOLDCD. The program encounters
the following problem. It is not able to allocate the file XOLDCD because
it is used exclusively by another process.
The error messages are:
Message Data . . . . . . . . . . . . . :
Error message CPF4128 appeared during OPEN for file XOLDCD.
Message Identifier . . . . . . . . . . : CPF4128
Not able to allocate objects needed for file in library
member
According to my knowledge, RPG IV does offers Error handling *PSSR.
However, it does not seem to work. The following are sample of statements
in my program:
HDEBUG(*YES)
F
...
FXOLDCD IF E K DISK
D
...
...
D PSDS SDS
D Procedure *PROC
D Status *STATUS
C
...
...
C *PSSR BEGSR
C Status IFGT 99
C .....
C DUMP
c ROLBK
C .....
C RETURN
C ENDIF
C ENDSR
...
I do not wish to allocate the file in the CL before calling this program,
because it will involve to much changes to my system. I hope someone can
advice me how it can be achieve without using a CL

Though you've coded a *PSSR, I don't see a INFSR(*PSSR) coded for the F-spec. I also suggest you code an INFDS for this file so the file status is available to the *PSSR.
(BTW, does this program also have a display file?)

Hi,
Thank you for your reply. I have actually tried what you suggested. The following are the codes. But, the program still abend and went into a message wait status. And the dump show that it has not even gone beyond the first statement in the c-specs, not to mention calling the *PSSR subroutine. Any idea why the program does not seem to invoke the exception handling routine *PSSR

Hi
a CPF4128 error is issued before your program has even completed in *INZSR prrocess so it will never get to the point of *PSSR.
The way I check for this error is to change the file to user open in the RPG and check for the error during the open.

(D'oh!) Dave's right. If you want to move allocation testing and response into the RPG program and out of the control language, then the program must take full control.
I tend to use control language (CL) for such control functions and put business logic into business programs, so it's been far too many years since I've seen CPF4128 actually occur within RPG.

Hi again
You can not even check for this on a monmsg! Aghhhhhhhhhh
It's all about what part of the system you want to change.
The cleanest way is in the CL, so the program won't dump and you can easily send a mesasge to who ever to tell them about the problem.

Dave:
I assume you mean a MONMSG against the CALL to the RPG program fails rather than against an ALCOBJ prior to the CALL?

Hi
just a thought, if it is only the one logical file that is the problem; why not just duplicate it to a new name in the same library, the system will share the access path so they will be no system overhead. Change the one program that has an exclusive lock to use the new logical enabling all the other programs to function correctly.

Dave:
If it's a lock against the object, that should work. But if it's a lock based on the data member (i.e., the underlying physical), then I'd expect to see the same problem. No?
Seems to me that USROPN combined with explicit allocation is still the best course. Or ALCOBJ prior to CALLing the RPG. And make sure that the correct object is allocated with the appropriate lock.

Hi tom
I am unsure how the object is locked. Depending on how it is locked it could work.
Please can you tell us how the object is locked.

I believe the problem is the file lock situation and handling it in RPG is easier. You can keep infsr with delay wait for certain time. and respond to the job as 'R' after some time...but this is not the right way
The other way out is you can figure out which job is locking from the sds around 90 to 118 in the ds will have the information
You can send a msg to qsysopr once the lock is released there by taking R would help.
