Too Many Files Open (AREV Specific)

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.

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.

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.

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.
