I have tested the following several times this weekend and I keep loosing rows of data with writechk on.
set writechk off out 1.dat unload all out screen set writechk on out 2.dat unload all out screen set writechk off out 3.dat unload all out screen File 1.dat and 3.dat are the same size, file 2.dat is 10 times smaller. What should I look for and why would writechk make a difference in the output file? thanks marc > > --- "A.
