return code 20
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.
C:\mytestdir>

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
