Just a guess. Does it fail at the first Write statement or at the end of the file? If so then this might help, at least it is easy to test.
Syntax: SET EOFCHAR ON/OFF Default: ON If EOFCHAR is set OFF, a control-Z character will not be appended to the end of output files.

It have been working so far with 6 other programs, now with 7:th program it does not work. To fix this I need to find out if the write statement adds a linefeed or a carriage return. My program is basically a loop from declare cursor: Out myfile.txt . . . write .vmtext . . out terminal I have always presumed that a linefeed is added at the of the write statement. But now I can't presume I need to knew. But if a carriage return is added I must confess my program is in error and 7:th program is correct and 6 before that are just fault tolerant. Is ithe other way I can demand the 7:th program to be altered. Is ther an editor aviable to Se what charter is added or does someone knew!
