Re: [sqr-users] Cannot open log files in progress underWindows

["Jamie Harris" <JHarris@frederick.edu>]

I have the same problem with those editors, but the text editor I use
most does not mind.  It treats it as a read-only file, but you're able
to open it.  My editor is from www.semware.com  (and is called TSE Pro).
  

The problem is that Windows locks the file to prevent other programs
from changing the file, but Notepad and UltraEdit do not check file
locking correctly to see if the file is locked exclusively or if it can
be read.

Being familiar with Unix, I would bet you could write a quick Perl
script to dump the log file to the screen piped through "more".  Or, if
you're only looking for the end of the file there are some nice Windows
implementations of the "tail" command you could grab.  I have one that's
pretty good but don't remember where I got it from.

Hi group,

We are running SQR 4.3.4

When we run SQRs under UNIX we are able to open the log files before
the
report finishes.  Very handy for checking on the progress of
long-running
reports.
When we run them under Windows we are presented with a sharing
violation
message when we attempt to look at the log files using UltraEdit or
Notepad.

Is there a way to observe these log files under Windows or is this a
'feature' of the DOS version of SQR?

Thanks for your consideration,
Jim Womeldorf
