Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Compaq Tru64 UNIX
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.1B
SYMPTOM(s):
Disk space is not released to the operating system after a 4GL OS-DELETE is executed.
An Appserver 4GL persistent procedure includes INPUT FROM <file-name>, OUTPUT TO <file-name> and OS-DELETE statements.
The OS-DELETE statement deletes a file created on the fly using OUTPUT TO <file-name>.
CAUSE:
Programmer error. An OUTPUT TO <file-name> was not being properly closed.
FIX:
Ensure that all OPEN INPUT and OUTPUT streams are properly closed using the appropriate 4GL statement, (INPUT CLOSE, OUTPUT CLOSE or INPUT-OUTPUT CLOSE).
