One question - why could Kevin's process delete an open file? I thought the OS prevented that very situation from happening! Or does UD not hold the item open such that the OS sees it an 'in use by another process'? It would seem that by virtue of doing OPENSEQ, no one could 'delete' the item

That's something of a mystery to me too. The app that Dana is referring to is a java app that polls the directory and then consumes anything it finds. I found it interesting that the Java app could open a file that was being written to by Unidata, but then again, we've seen this with credit card

I'm sorry, I don't remember if this problem was occuring under unix or windows. The following response applies to unix The OPENSEQ doesn't prevent other people from opening/changing/deleting the file. In general, there's nothing in unix that prevents you from deleting an open file either. The file

George, Variable DTOTAMT previously undefined. Empty string used. Was DTOTALS assigned? Was DADVTOT assigned? If not, you are possibly attempting to assign one variable to another that has not yet been assigned. Here's a viable solution... IF NOT(ASSIGNED(DTOTALS)) THEN DTOTALS = 0 IF
