WUF-201 File open [message #669115]

Hi,

I am using Forms 11g.
I have this error WUF-201 ... (The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process) that I get when I try to open a file. I know that the error is because the file is already open. I want to know how can I handle this non oracle error. I want to post a shorter and more intelligible message for users. The one that I get is long and technical and only at the end, if you have patience to read, you can understand why you get it.

All I found on internet are problems regarding the rights of the user. But this is not the case here.

Thank you !

I am using Windows 7 Enterprise.

The story is like this:
- user exports some data from the screen in CSV file.
- user opens the file and changes some data.
- imports the file back to tables behind the screen
- if some errors occurs then a similar file + "err" will be generated. This is exactly like the one exported but has an extra column "Error" where you can see them.
- user cheks the info filled wrong in the file and then imports once again the file.

Because sometimes they forget to close first the file, when they imports the second time the file (that already exists) the error mentioned is raised.

Open a CSV file that is already open with this command:
CLIENT_TEXT_IO.fopen(path+filename, 'W', 80000);

I know I can include in the name of the file TIMESTAMP (TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'yymmdd_hh24miss')) and the name of the file will be always unique but I am curious to know how can this error be treated. It is an non oracle exception so exception when others will not prevent the message to appear.

Hope this was explanations were ok and the problem is more understandable now.

Regards.
