Hi, Does anyone have an answer for this? From a choice field perform the following: <copy "a.txt" "a.dx" <append "ff.txt" "a.dx" <append "b.txt" "a.dx" a.txt contains just a bit of text ff.txt must contain a form feed(control-l) b.txt contains just text. After the second append the following error occurs:- Problem with APPEND function - file "a.dx" and gold-w gives:- %OA-E-NOAPPEND, Problem with APPEND function - file "a.dx" -OA-E-TXTOPNERR, TEXT DSAB open error Any ideas? -Trev

| 3141.1 | DX text dataset problem | IOSG::NEWLAND | Richard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2 | Mon Aug 16 1993 12:33 | 17 |
I've looked at this with the debugger. The DX test dataset is not succesfully closing the output file after doing the append. Therefore when the second append is performed the attempt to open the file fails because the file is already open. This is a problem with the DX test dataset, and not the APPEND function, because other types of output file (e.g. .TXT and .WPL) work correctly. A workaround would be to APPEND the files together as .TXT files and then convert the combined .TXT file to a .DX file with a COPY. Please submit an SPR. Richard | |||||
