I can now after one more days of testing add: 1 I stripped the database from 60 tables to 11
2 taken away all rules and indexes 3 Stripped my commandfile from 225 lines to 15 4 This is how the stripped commandfile looks: DISC SET MULTI OFF CON GL del rows fro transfg where kontonr exi or kontonr fails *(transaction previous year deleted based on accountnummber) del rows fro verfg where vernr exi or vernr fails del rows fro ibub where kontonr exi or kontonr fails del rows fro hbfg where kontonr exi or kontonr fails del rows fro ibfg where kontonr exi or kontonr fails del rows fro trans where kontonr exi or kontonr fails del rows fro ib where kontonr exi or kontonr fails del rows fro ub where kontonr exi or kontonr fails del rows fro ubfg where kontonr exi or kontonr fails del rows fro hb where kontonr exi or kontonr fails del rows fro verifik where vernr exi or vernr fails 5 The database tables contains between 25 rows and 2000 rows 6 Executed in win version of 6.5++ No problem 7 Executed in DOS version 1.851 (or the beta for patch 3) it either hangs or crushes (where seems to vary a little depending on order of lines in commandfile (are I sick or something)) 8 If I take away the where clauses it execute ok even in dos 9 In real life I need the where clause only on 2 lines the rest of where clauses is because 2.11 required a where clause 10 I am convinced that 99 times out of 100 if a commandfile does not work it is because of me is this case 100? 11 I am still puzzled by lineend but do not any longer believe it causes any harm 12 If it is not apparent the app is GL-General Ledger handling previous year current year and next year and this is the stripped version of yearly rollover. 13 Am I the only one on DOS version left since it been so quit or are US not waked up yet and Australia already in bed? I hope 13 point on this does not mean bad luck in answer Gunnar asking for understanding
