Hi Cindy,
As the description of the error says, it "may" return additional
information in the result about why it could not delete an entry. You
specified the IGNOREERRORS option which says to not return any error
information when trying to delete the directory. Section "8.5 File System
(FS) Service", sub-section "8.5.13 DELETE", in the STAF User's Guide at
http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAFUG.htm#HDRFSSRV says the following
about the IGNOREERRORS option:
IGNOREERRORS specifies that errors encountered (recursively) deleting
children should not be returned. By default, all errors encountered while
(recursively) deleting children will be returned in the result buffer.
If you remove the IGNOREERRORS option, then you'll get the operating
system error code in the result. On Windows, you can use command "net
helpmsg <OS Error Code>" to get more information about the operating
system error code.
For example, on a Windows system, if I try to delete a directory that is
in use (because from a command prompt I changed to that directory), and
don't specify the IGNOREERRORS option, I'll get STAF RC 10 (Base operating
system error), and OS RC 32 (File in use error) in the result.
C:\>mkdir mytestdir
C:\>cd mytestdir
C:\mytestdir>STAF local FS DELETE ENTRY C:\\mytestdir RECURSE IGNOREERRORS
CONFIRM
Error submitting request, RC: 20
C:\mytestdir>STAF local FS DELETE ENTRY C:\\mytestdir RECURSE CONFIRM
Error submitting request, RC: 20
Additional info
---------------
Name RC OS RC
------------ -- -----
C:\mytestdir 10 32
C:\mytestdir>start
C:\mytestdir>net helpmsg 32
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another
process.

Subject: [staf-users] Wold like to get more error details on STAF
API return code 20
Hi,
I had this very simple STAF command to delete an entry “STAF machine FS
DELETE ENTRY D:\CoreICExtractor RECURSE IGNOREERRORS CONFIRM”.
I got this return error “Error Submitting Request, RC: 20”.
The web page lists some information on the API return code 20 as follows,
“This indicates that there was an error while trying to delete a file or
directory. Note: Additional information regarding which file or directory
could not be deleted may be provided in the result passed back from the
submit call.”
There was no much information back. How can I get more error details?
I appreciate you help.
Thanks,
Cindy
