Hi all,
 
I have a script opens a very large file and updates STAR patient accounts from 
information in the file.  I have it set up to report the status of each record 
in an Excel file but the spreadsheet is not always generated.  >From my 
observation, the larger the input file the less likely the Excel report will 
generate.  
 
Script Functionality:
Open file script: D.Open_ F("strTheSourceFile"), ftFixedLength, 
"C:\Bss70\Scripts\BlahBlah\BlahBlah.bds"
Process records: 
Update the status:  D("Status")="DONE" & D("Status")="ERROR"
Run the report and close the file:  D.Report & D.Close_
End the script
 
Here is what I know:
The files are large (8,000 - 10,000 lines +)
The Excel file does generate on our smaller test files
After a large file runs through the script, I may get 5 - 10 .bds files (*.bds, 
*.bds1, *.bds2, etc...)
 
My question is... Is it possible to create the spreadsheet earlier in the 
script and update it periodically rather than wait until the end of the script?
 
Any help would be appreciated but realize that I am a novice and will likely 
need coaching if the resolution is complicated.
 
Frank
