[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have created a file succesfully in app server ,which I try to read later through a backgroung job using statement

OPEN DATASET w_infile FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS.

But I am getting OS(UNIX) level error message "No such file or directory" When I try to run the program in foreground it works perfectly.

Please help.

Are your background processes running on the same server as you're logged on?
