well folks I think I found my problem.
If I start RBW then do Unload all, everything is OK. Then I run SET ZERO ON SET WRITECHK ON SET CLEAR ON and the output file is smaller and I loose the rows. Then I set writechk off and did another unload all and it worked fine. It seems that writechk on will not allow all of the rows to be written to the output file and it appears to be the tables with dates. Am I crazy or is this possible? marc --- Bill Downall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Marc, > > Actually, you have the optimum settings here.
