2828.0. "MAIL CREATE then COPY problem." by KERNEL::LOAT (Keep passing the open windows...) Tue Jun 08 1993 15:56

    VMS 5.5-2 ALL-IN-1 3.0

    A customer is using the following commands:

    MAIL CREATE/NOSEND/NOEDIT/OPEN

    then

    COPY #MSGFILE OA$CURMES_FILE

    and he gets an error:

    "File currently locked by another user"

    I've tried this here, and I can't reproduce the problem. It's not the
    input file which is locked. He's used several files like his login.com
    etc. and he always gets the error.

    If he enters MAIL CLOSE_MESSAGE just before the COPY function, then it
    works.
    
    Anyone shed any light on this?

    Steve.

2828.1Same editor?IOSG::SHOVEDave Shove -- REO2-G/M6Tue Jun 08 1993 17:2010
    Are you using the same editor as your customer is using?
    
    That's the only thing I can think of which might cause it to be
    non-reproducible.
    
    I tried it here with both ASCII (EDT) and WPS-PLUS. and can't reproduce
    it. BUT that was with a <possible future release>, not with SDC (sorry,
    SSB) v3.0. And they might have some non-DEC editor in use/

    They are using WPS-PLUS as their editor, and they can change it to a
    different one, and they still get the problem.
    
    I've jusy spoken to the customer, and he's told me that only certain
    people see the problem, some accounts don't have the problem at all. I
    can't see anything which the accounts have in common. Some are priv'ed,
    some not.
    
    Any ideas?
