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.
