Hi Gregg, i tried out using open/direct for writing to a file.
This results in a still running statement, using 99% CPU, but only writing the first line of 5 million into the file and no more. Is this the kind problem existing with non-buffered ports (open/direct)?? Perhaps anybody knows when a fix for this will be available?? -> RT ????? But, nevertheless, thanks for your hint in this case.
