<QUOTE>
Have a problem with too many files being open.

I think I have the solution but would like some information.



what does the       ] NUL        function do on a dos command.

ie.

perform 'SUSPEND EXIT COPY TEST1 TEST2 ] NUL'



I believe putting the NUL function will cause the file to be closed

completely and make my problem go away, but have not been able

to find documentation on this yet.

<QUOTE>Using the ]NUL command at a dos prompt simply supresses the echo

i.e. if you type DIR ]NUL from a dos prompt, instead of seeing a list of files, you will see nothing.  I've run into the TOO MANY FILES OPEN error myself a few times.  

  1. Not having enough Novell Licenses for my users. I had a 50 user license and the 51st person to log on would get that error.  

  2. I've changed what Client software I was using.  i.e.  There is a specific version of Microsofts Client for Netware that didn't work.  So I switched to Novell's Client32.  

  3. There was also a time when the only thing I could do to get rid of that error was down my server.

<QUOTE>You didn't say what platform you're running on (i.e. DOS & Novell, DOS only, Win95 & Novell). If you're running DOS workstations try upping the FILES= statement in the config.sys. FILES=60 is reasonable for ARev.

<QUOTE>NUL is a reserved file handle.  You might try

perform 'SUSPEND EXIT COPY TEST1 TEST2 ] NULL'

instead.  This will create a NULL file and should eliminate some of the problems.



Additionally, you should also look into increasing the amount of file handles you have available.
