The value of peFD is 258. Now that you mentioned IFS files, the first
program besides consuming the web-service, also executes varies Java
methods where the jar and classes are sitting in the IFS. That could be
the issue indeed. How can I close those Java connections? And why
running the programs under their own activation group didn't do the
trick? Since HTTPAPIR4 is compiled under *CALLER, I assumed both
programs would have their own variables allocations and use them
independent from one another, so to me it should have worked.
Thanks,
Lewis

hi Lewis,
Since you're debugging this, can you tell me what the value of 'peFD'
is? The only reason to my knowledge that you'd get this error is if
you have more than 224 descriptors open, and therefore peFD would be
higher than 223.
In all cases that I've seen, this means that you are doing something
with descriptors (i.e. using sockets, pipes or IFS files in your job)
that are not getting closed properly. Since they are not getting
closed, you end up with hundreds open at once, and peFD ends up being
higher than 223 -- causing the 'Length or start position' error that you
cited.
It is possible, of course, that you might legitimately have that many
open at once. For example, if you are running this inside of a
home-grown TCP server program that's handling more than 200 clients at
once, or a file-server program that needs to have more than 200 files
open at once. But, so far I've never seen this in actual practice.
It's only been caused by mistakes due to people not closing things out
properly.
Are you working with IFS files, Pipes, or Sockets at all in your program
(aside from the ones opened by HTTPAPI)?

Hello group,
We are getting this error "Length or start position is out of
range for
the string operation.", within the HTTP software when running our
daily
job Credit Cards Preliminary. The error is actually happening on a
substring statement within procedure COMMTCP_FD_SET. I was able to
generate a debug file from the HTTP software, which I've attached
along
with some screenshots for my proof of testing when debugging the
issue
showing the statement in error and the fields values used in the
substring built-in function. I didn't see anything suspicious in
the
log that might be causing the error, so not sure what's going on.
Our
job consumes the web-service from two different programs, the
first
program works fine and the error happens on the second program on
the
very first called to the web-service. The weird thing is that this
error only happens every Monday, but not for the rest of the
weekdays
that the job runs as well. One solution that I tried was running
those
two programs under its own activation group, but it didn't fix the
issue. Please let me know your input on this.
Thanks,
Lewis
