I haven't figured out the significant difference between EasyTrieve programs that complete successfully and those that fail.
Two of the failures appeared to fail after writing the last record - which record did not show up in the (NEW,CATLG,CATLG) file. One fails before the EasyTrieve starts JOB INPUT INREC START(SETUP-PROC) ... SETUP-PROC. PROC */*/* */* INITIALIZE THE SUBCODE TABLE */*/* DISPLAY 'HJBDEBUG SETUP-PROC' That display doesn't happen. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
