The second temporary file likely got the same extents as a previous temporary file. But I thought that SMS now forced an EOF to be written at allocation time. Are your temporary volumes not SMS managed? I know that we used to get all sorts of odd occurrances like this. Mainly "picking up garbage" from a temp file that was never OPENed for writing in a previous step. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
