This article was previously published under Q96615

SYMPTOMS

One of several workstations running a Clipper application fails when it attempts to open a Clipper spool file. The Clipper application in question opens many files.

In a reported instance of this problem, the server was upgraded from 3+Open to LAN Manager 2.1 (LAN Man 2.1, OS/2 1.3, HPFS, and NetBEUI) and had three workstations (MS-DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.1) configured. When a Clipper application was run, the first two workstations had no problems but the third failed when it attempted to open a Clipper spool file. In repeated attempts, the third application was always the one to fail.

CAUSE

This can be caused by the compatibility open problem.

RESOLUTION

Try setting server heuristic 11 to 0. You may also try setting server heuristic 5 to 0, but change one at a time and try changing 11 to 0 first.
