===============================
Adding to Larry's description of our client's problem ......
I tested using my own copy of RBdos6.5++ build 1.842xRT03 and found the
problem persists. Also, I tried some other experiments as follows:
- A file actually does get created, but with 0 bytes.
- When start R:BASE, a single $$$ file gets created in the default
directory. This is expected behavior and indicates that RIGHTS to CREATE a
file is not the issue. I can also create, modify, delete a file at the DOS
prompt.
- I ran a small piece of code (not codelocked) which starts with a FILLIN
command. After entering a value and pressing ENTER, got error msg: -
ERROR - Cannot create temporary file.
- I tried SET SCRATCH = C:\ to no avail.
Everything points to the client's upgrade to Novell client ver 4.8 (SP3)
from ver 4.7, since the PC's that have not yet been upgraded do not display
the problem. It seems there is less tolerance by the new Novell version for
whatever DOS process is involved here. Anyone know of a fix???
Thanks!

Subject: Can't use OUTPUT FileName after upgrading Novell client to 4.8.
| An old client with RBDos 6.1a called to say that after upgrading their
| Novell client from 4.7 to 4.8 they cannot use the following code to create
| files:
|
| OUTPUT Filename
| SELECT * FROM . . .
| OUTPUT SCREEN
|
| The code causes an error on the SELECT command about not be able to write
| the disk file. Permissions are correct, RBEdit can create files, files
can
| be created from the DOS prompt, and the same code works from RBWin 6.1a
| which they also have. The problem only occurs if they are writing to a
| network volume, local writes are fine.
|
| They are using a Novell server, Win NT 4.0 workstations, and Novell client
| 4.8. It's fairly clearly some setting in the Novell client, but their
| network people don't have an idea.
|
| Questions:
|
| If they upgrade versions will the problem go away? (my first preference).
|
| Does anyone know what Novell setting(s) might affect this problem?
|
| Is anyone running RBDos with Novell Client 4.8 with success?
|
| All suggestions appreciated.
