<h1 class="topictitle1">Reasons for allocation errors when copying files</h1>
<div><p>If another job allocates a member with too strong a lock state, the copy
operation might end with an error message. This is also true if the library
containing the file is renamed during the copy operation.</p>
<div class="p">When a copy command runs, the to-file might be locked (similar to an *EXCL
lock with no time-out) so that no access is possible. Any attempt to use a
function that must touch the to-file locks up the workstation until the copy
command completes. For instance, you should not use the following functions
on a to-file that you are copying: <p>   WRKACTJOB<br />
      Option 11 (Work with Locks)<br />
      Option 5  (Work with Job Member Locks)<br />
      Option 8  (Work with Object Locks)<br />
   DSPDBR<br />
   DSPFD<br />
   DSPFFD<br />
   WRKJOB<br />
      Option 12 (Work with Locks, if active)<br />
      Option  5 (Work with Job Member Locks)<br />
      F10 (Display Open Files, if active)<br />
   WRKLIB<br />
      The library containing the to-file<br />
   DSPLIB<br />
      The library containing the to-file<br />
   WRKOBJLCK<br />
   WRKRCDLCK</p>
</div>
<p>If you want to display any information about a to-file, you must anticipate
the requirement and force the copy command to use block record-at-a-time operations
by specifying ERRLVL(1).</p>
<p>If you anticipate that problems might arise because of this, you can preallocate
the files and members using the <a href="../cl/alcobj.htm">Allocate Object (ALCOBJ)</a> command.</p>
