SYMPTOM(s):
Attempting to remove file with OS-DELETE
OS-ERROR returns error code 999
File is not removed
Attempting to delete the file via OS-COMMAND displays the following message in the Console:
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
Code defines a STREAM and uses it to read the file contents
File access is terminated using INPUT CLOSE statement
CAUSE:
This is expected behaviour because the file is still in use. The STREAM does not terminate properly using INPUT CLOSE.
FIX:
Change
INPUT CLOSE.
to
INPUT STREAM <stream> CLOSE.
This will terminate the STREAM properly and allow the file to be removed with OS-DELETE.
