Re: [Condor-users] Windows FORTRAN scratch files

Title: Message



Thanks to those that replied with some suggestions, e.g. wrap in a batch file, open the

file normally and delete in the batch file afterwards.

 

The user actually came up with a solution themselves (see below).

 

I came across the 'unlink' function, which allows you to delete a file from a fortran program.

 My eventual approach was to declare the scratch files by name and remove their 'scratch' status.

 I then use the unlink function to delete the files once they've been closed. This seems to work well.

Subject: [Condor-users] Windows FORTRAN scratch files

Hi

We're having problems with a FORTRAN program that uses temporary scratch files
(i.e. opened using STATUS='SCRATCH' and FILE= not specified). Under these conditions
a file fort.nnn will be created in the system temp directory. We get the following message
in the condor error log:

open: Permission denied
apparent state: unit 39 named \fort.392
lately writing sequential formatted external IO

I'm guessing that the problem is that the job is running as a user that doesn't have enough
permissions to use the execute machines temp directory?

Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks.

Cheers

Greg
