CIFS Client -- COBOL Program Hang

[Randy Willet]

I have a CIFS mount point established from an HP-UX 11i server to a Win2k server. All works well from the command line: rm, cp, ls, etc. However, when executing a COBOL program that reads/writes to this mount point, the COBOL program hangs. I'm using the latest version of CIFS, which is A.01.09.03. Anyone have any ideas of what the problem might be???

copy the file locally to the Hp server and run the cobol program on it. If it completes successfully, then REVERSE your cifs client/master.

HPux should always be the master anyways with M$ boxes as clients, thus allowing you to use SAMBA and not the bastard child CIFS/9000.

Does program give any error?? What user do yo use for this program?? Is that user allowed to write to the share?? What does cifs log file say??

The programmer has not yet put in displays, but he did indicate the file lives on the mount point, and the output file does as well. So, I'm assuming it's probably realted to the opening of input/output statements.

I have looked at the CIFS debug log (/var/opt/cifsclinet/debug) and did not see any messages for the date/time of when the COBOL program hang.

And at this point, I'm only able to use the HP-UX 11i server as a client, not a master :o(

Thanks so far for your questioning :o)
