Using the latest and greatest 7.1 for Windows build 7.1.81.30922, I have just discovered what I consider a quirk. An automated reload routine sets the output with the following command. The screen is included so that users know something is going on, and when it is done, they can review the results.
SET MESSAGES ON SET ERROR MESSAGES ON OUTPUT xReload.log WITH SCREEN and at the end of the file OUTPUT SCREEN RBEDIT xReload.log RETURN Here's the quirk: If I issue the OUTPUT command before connecting to the database, the file has only 1 byte in it. If I issue it after the database has been connected, the log file contains all the message data I expect to see. The file will not trap the messages on a failed disconnect, which is a bit important. Can anyone else verify this? Did I just notice this after all these many years? Am I crazy? (Well, Yes, but ...)
