Message-ID: <27@holston.UUCP> Date: 10 Jun 89 19:15:30 GMT Organization: Barton A. Fisk & Co. Lines: 20 Please pardon me if this is an obviosly naive question, but I am curious if there is some sort of limit on the number of times a single user can open the same file in SCO 2.2.1 on a 286. My problem occurs when the vertical package I developed is running with 4+ users doing inquirys in the same masterfile. Problem: eventually the system will refuse to open the files requested for a particular user, no errors are generated other than those in the application. The files are RM/Cobol indexed data files. Is there some parameter I can adjust? I am nowhere near the limit of 300 open files systemwide. Since all the users log in under the same name to start the application, I suspect that I am bumping into some limit. All suggestions appreciated. Barton A.
