- This is a known problem with CONVERT and has been in CONVERT for VMS V4.n and
- all of 5.n so far, according to DSNlink. The work around is this (and I quote
- DEC):
-
- WORKAROUND:
-
- Specify the output file with a name that other processes will
- never try to open. Then RENAME it to the original filename
- after the CONVERT completes. The following commands can be
- used to accomplish this:
-
- $ CONVERT file.dat 'F$GETJPI("","PID")'.dat
- $ RENAME 'F$GETJPI("","PID")'.dat file.dat
