Ah! Gotcha -- now why in the world does UniData not handle this correctly? I guess that doing a 'CLEARFILE' on a dynamic file is one of those things during design time someone said 'who would ever do that?!?' - so that detail was omitted within the O/S!
Thanks - I did just do a CLEAR.FILE from the ECL prompt afterwards -- I was more curious if the fact the dat002 was hanging around was going to cause 'damage' later if I did NOT do the CLEAR.FILE - I decided not to find out.
