4148 File sharing violation

[rvancura]

Greetings everyone,

I'm having issues with an open statement, it's indicating that it has a file sharing violation. The end-user receives the error code on line 310. It doesn't happen all the time though. Does anyone have an idea why they might be receiving this error? I thought the “SHR” command would prevent this error from occurring. Could it be that the end-user has the file open and it is being locked by Windows? I'm running version 3.90 and I can run tests on 4.17 too.

Thanks,
Ryan

Cause
Violation of file sharing rules.

OR you need non-shared access to a file and another computer has it opened.
OR the operating system has locked the file.
Remedy
Check to see that the correct SHR parameters were specified in the OPEN
statement. If so, change the program so that it does not violate the file-sharing
rules or wait for release of the file in use. Also, be sure that your IBMNET or

It appears this error is related to Novell server and Windows 7 OS. I upgraded the client to the latest service pack for Novell and now I can't replicate this error.

Thanks,
