Hi

hp3000 Mpex 7.0

I was wondering if anyone was using Minisoft ODBC and message files. We 
have numerous applications that are writing to message files via minisoft and 
they work perfectly.

We are now attempting to read from a message file. This we can do via 
Minsoft as long as there is nothing else accessing it.

We have a cobol process that writes to the message file and does an open 
extend. It writes data to the message file happily. Minisoft then goes to read 
the message file and is seems to "read" the data (as the no of records goes to 
0) but we do not get access to the data in minisoft until we stop the cobol 
program.

We are not getting access violation errors as it is reading the data and there 
is no locks open when I look at the message file.

the file equation for the cobol program is 
File XXX;shr;msg

The file equation for minisoft is 

File XXX;shr;msg;gmulti;acc=in

Nothing else is attempting access.

any ideas ?

Anne
