I have not seen this error in some time. I use the set scratch tmp in my cfg file. I use compiler.

I see the solution promoted over and over, but I don't recall anyone coming back and confirming that it completely solved this problem for them. On the other hand, is anyone using SET SCRATCH TMP and still getting these errors? The silence on this subject is deafening.

Does anyone know what may cause it? John, Instead of mucking with SCRATCH settings manually, why not let R:BASE handle the SCRATCH settings to create, manage and then delete the temporary (.$$$) files automatically. Did you know that the latest versions of R:BASE 7.6, C/S:I 7.6, Turbo V-8 and eXtreme (v9) include a setting to automatically find the user's default Windows temporary folder to manage all scratch (.$$$) files, accordingly. All you need to do is simply use the keyword "TMP" in R:BASE configuration (.cfg) file and related Oterro (.cfg) file, if used. You can also use the newly supported "SET SCRATCH TMP" command in your application startup file, before CONNecting to database. Using the "SCRATCH TMP" option will also eliminate all issues related to setting the SCRATCH directory and related files. This default setting also enables R:BASE/OTERRO to write scratch files without being concerned about read, write, and delete permissions on the network/local folders. Now knowing the advantages and built-in capabilities of R:BASE, do what works for you in your specific environment. Try it. You'll be glad you did!
