We're using a legacy rbase system (5.5 DOS). Been trying to identify causes for scratch ($$$) files being left over (orphaned) during normal operation of the database. We know that abnormal termination of the application (i.e. End Task) will do it; excessive memory leaks on platforms prior to W2K...
Curious about any internal file access time-outs (if network is slow and rbase thinks it's scratch files aren't there anymore) or maybe the NOS is closing files it doesn't think are being used... Does anyone have any ideas, experience, flash backs, etc.? Thanks, Steve Martin
