The actual solution was for me to take the 2 minutes required to comment
out the TRANS line, add code to open the file, readv the file, comment my
code, compile and then catalog the program. Someone who can really type
would have finished the job in 30 seconds. :-)
What really hurt was all the time was taken up trying to figure out why
the flag being set by the TRANS was incorrect. Now I know. I have always
been leery of using a Oconv TRANS in a databasic program. I was under the
impression the TRANS had to open the file every time the TRANS was
executed, now I know better. :-) Of course, if I had been correct I
wouldn't have had the problem. :-(
Learn something new every day.

Subject: RE: [U2] OPEN vs TRANS
I understood exactly what you were saying. The "solution" was for the
case where the acct *wasn't* being exited and therefore @FILENAME,
@RECORD, etc. not flushed. [Unless, of course, the "cache" you speak of
is something specific to TRANS() rather than the above, but I can't see
why that would be.]
