ERROR: File is in use, _WEBOUT

Posted 11-22-2010 01:28 PM (8483 views)
I created a stored process in EG. It simply writes some HTML code to _webout, but I got the error message: ERROR: File is in use, _WEBOUT. I couldn't figure out how to fix this error.

When we ran the stored procedure with the following source code we are always getting a message:
Error Message: Error File is in use _WEBOUT

 

Sample code:

 

/* Main Aisle of the Online Library */
data _null_;
file _webout;
if libref('SAVE') ne 0 then
rc = stpsrv_session('create');
put '<HTML>';
put '<HEAD><TITLE>Online Library
Main Aisle</TITLE></HEAD>';
put;
put '<BODY vlink="#004488" link="#0066AA"
bgcolor="#E0E0E0">';
put '<H1>Online Library Main Aisle</H1>';
put;
put 'Select one of the following
areas of the library:';
put '<UL>';
length hrefroot $400;
hrefroot = symget('_THISSESSION') ||
'&_PROGRAM=/WebApps/Library/';
put '<LI><A HREF="' hrefroot +(-1)
'Aisles&type=Book">Book Aisle</A></LI>';
put '<LI><A HREF="' hrefroot +(-1)
'Aisles&type=Video">Video Aisle</A></LI>';
put '<LI><A HREF="' hrefroot +(-1)
'Aisles&type=Audio">Audio Aisle</A></LI>';
put '<LI><A HREF="' hrefroot +(-1)
'Aisles&type=Hardware">Hardware Aisle</A></LI>';
put '<LI><A HREF="' hrefroot +(-1)
'Shopping Cart">View my shopping cart</A></LI>';
put '<LI><A HREF="' hrefroot +(-1)
'Logout">Logout</A></LI>';
put '</UL>';
put '</BODY>';
put '</HTML>';
run;

If you want to create your own HTML, then don't use ODS.  It is ODS that has a lock on the _WEBOUT FILEREF.
