----------------------------Thanks Dennis - you can probably guess my initial response to that: it is off and, in any case, my program sets it off if, for any reason, it has been changed to on.
There is, of course, always one exception when that doesn't apply. I have just found that exception. I am just about to take care of it. Regards, Alastair.

In v9.0, however, I have discovered that a line in the output file is added: "End of data encountered". As I trace the process there is no sign that the data written to the file ever contains that text. I create the text and use: WRITE .vPDV_Action in the loop to create the file and the watch variable always contains what I expect. The program continues then with: ENDWHILE WRITE 'RETURN' OUT SCREEN DROP CURSOR C1 etc. The resulting output files looks like this: Data 1 Data 2... Data 9 End of data encountered RETURN [end of file marker] Is this a change that I've missed and, if so, how can I turn it off?Strangely, I have a vague feeling that I've seen this before some years ago and ought to remember.
