Wow -- although Nabble may be snatching the content right out of our List,
it's a pretty nice interface!  And the U2 group is like the 5th most active
list in databases (much like CDP has always been pretty active, I guess)

As for this issue, it's vendor specific -- your vendor has built Work Files
they expect to have a certain naming convention -- you can probably find
them by searching your data account file - in our case, the works files are
called HRPS.WORK.portno.  The only time users have had problems are where
the VOC entry for the Work File existed, but the actual underlying file did
not. But as the use of work files is not defined by the O/S or the Database,
but more by the application, you need another DataFlo user or vendor to
confirm what files should be in place. Caveat! But if you editted the VOC
for that file, and looked for the DICT and DATA it wants, one of them (or
both) are gone from the hard drive.

This happened in our work files from time to time -- we actually made our
work file open logic handle this case by removing the offending VOC and
rebuilding from scratch - but who would pre-anticipate the VOC entry
existing while the underlying database file was gone?!?  It just happened
enough to that they made the change in our product.

Subject: [U2] Dataflo missing Workfile

A month ago the UPS on our UNIX box running Dataflo with Preview/Wintegrate
went out.  After repairing and coming back up, we noticed that users on port
(UDTNO) 8 and 18 got the message "Cannot Update without WORKFILE - Inquiries
Only" at the bottom of their screen.  Is there a way to restore the
workfiles for these ports and how do I know what their names are?  is there
a TCL command or a PV command to reset workfiles?  Any help would be
appreciated!!
