No problem that I have come across. (v7.6/Vista.) I even had to check to
make sure I was doing it the recommended way as there _used_ to be problems
and, some time ago, I removed all the extra code that I had to tidy up.
Maybe there's usually silence because there's usually no problem?? It's all
too easy to forget about something wrong when it goes away...
Regards,
Alastair.

I sure would like to know if SET SCRATCH TNP truly eliminates this problem
out here in the trenches.
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.

Thank you Razzak,
I do recall the new "temp" feature and I will modify my startup to see if it
eliminates the error that I am seeing.

For the past several months my clients have been reporting that

ERROR- C:\Documents~1\Rich\temp\48BFEBDD.$$$ not found
The error usually occurs when printing a report to the screen.
They are all running on the compiled version of V8.
Scratch setup
SET VAR vScratchDir TEXT = NULL
SET VAR vScratchDir = (ENVVAL('TEMP'))
IF vScratchDir IS NOT NULL THEN
SET SCRATCH &vScratchDir
ENDIF
I have not been able to duplicate the error but I personally
have seen the error at one of my clients.
Has anyone else seen this error? Does anyone know what may
cause it?
John,
Instead of mucking with SCRATCH settings manually, why not let
R:BASE handle the SCRATCH settings to create, manage and then
delete the temporary (.$$$) 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!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
