Insufficient Disk Space Or Write Access Denied. (291)

Insufficient disk space or Write access denied. (291) comes when an application tries to generate the file at n/w drive.

I've check all these below criteria, everything looks all right - i.e. User has write access privilege and 3 GB space free space available.
Could someone pls suggest any other way to debug this?

i. Test the disk physically by copying, modifying and saving files, windows explorer shows around 3 GB space free.
ii. The test files should be the same size as those that were in use when the (291) error occurred.
This is also true if the disk is on the network.
iii. Windows Explorer -> right click on the folder or file -> Properties -> Security -> Permissions to check the file permissions

What version of Progress are you using?

What is the actual and complete error message?

My guess: you have an ancient, obsolete and unsupported release of Progress which does not support "large files" (or where large files have not been enabled) and your application is attempting to create a file larger than 2GB. The file is likely to be a temp-file.

Thanks Tom, its OE 11.4. However, identified the root cause reason that in .ini file if we specify the UNC path(\\network server name\) then I get this error whereas if we use map drive letter S:\ then it works fine. Not sure why OE faces an issue while using UNC path. It looks specific to remote system drive. Now the issue is openedge does not recognize UNC path in ini file if we specify network UNC folder path as result reports detination directory, it work fine with network drive letter folder path. Do we need to do any environment setup to recognize UNC path from OE perspective as it happens only specific system??

I think it's to do with Windows security stuff. I've had similar issues as well. UNC path = dangerous according to M$
