Patricia, When you said "0 bytes", did you really mean zero bytes at the os? Or did you mean zero records, i.e., an empty data file from the UV perspective? What was the file's type? The name "LINEITEM" suggests hashed. Static or Dynamic? What would it look like if you lacked r or x rights

Even a CLEAR.FILE will not leave the file at 0 bytes - it always leaves a header. So I'd be suspecting a rogue operating system delete command, whether malicious or not. There's nothing in UniVerse that will detect this (alas). --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsub
