The &PH& file is a type 1 file(a directory).
On AIX: When you write the record back to the directory, the inode is
changed to point the the new disk location of the new file. The old file
is still update(output for phantom) until the file is closed, then AIX
removes it. I'm sure this is the same on Linux/all UNIX distros, never
tested.

Here's one of those things that I didn't think would be a problem.....but alas
I was wrong!
I have a phantom running, which writes any output to the &PH& file.
I opened the &PH& record to view if there were any problems, and then deleted
all the lines in the file, and 'FI'ed it back.
Now I have no clue where the output of the phantom is being written to??? It's
still running fine, and I KNOW it's still creating output
But it's not going to the &PH& record anymore, since I mucked with it.
Obviously, killing and restarting the phantom will right my wrongs, but I wouldn't have
thought gutting the output &PH& file
Would stop it from future writes??
