In your code below, you have:
SET SCRATCH = 'C:\TEMP'
I would have written that:
SET SCRATCH C:\TEMP
Note the differences. You could be having problems because R:Base has not correctly interpreted the SET SCRATCH.
I've been using the code below for ages but I remmed it out a few days ago following Emmitt's message. Definitely many less crashes since doing so.
SET VAR vTemp TEXT = NULL SET VAR vTemp = (ENVVAL('TEMP')) IF vTemp IS NOT NULL THEN SET SCRATCH .vTemp ELSE MKDIR C:\TEMP SET SCRATCH = 'C:\TEMP' ENDIF
It causes more problems because the $$$ files now reside in with the databases which I don't like and they don't _always_ get deleted.
I had been trying to keep my C: drive for programs and working files with the D: drive for real data. D: gets backed up regularly, C: only when changes require it. When I back up now I get the unwanted/undeleted $$$ files.
