This is how append to Log files in UV: some of the log files get to be many hundreds of megabytes and this is still fast: % - subroutine APPEND.UNIX(NEW.LINE, PATH, ERR) ERR = '' ;* Return this if nothing goes wrong openseq PATH to SEQFILE else

Also, could you confirm that your VOC _PH_ is in fact a DIR-type? Yes sir, it is a DIR-type file. -Kevin [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.PrecisOnline.com ** Check out scheduled Connect! training courses at http://www.PrecisOnline.com/train.html. --- u2-users mailing list

Adrian, normally I would agree with you, sequential file output SHOULD be more efficient. However, because this isn't your typical WRITESEQ type situation - the output is coming from PRINT statements - my theory is that the rules may be different. And if I hadn't seen this thing get wacky at

I would recommend actually opening up an item in a file, counting the number of lines in the file (with a routine to delete the top of the file as it grows beyond a useful size) and then doing: I'd love to implement more elegant logging, but as this is a vendor-written process, my options are

I've seen similar erratic behavior when a phantom process set locks for a possible update, but then didn't clear the lock when no update occurred. I'm suggesting you have a locking issue but the out of memory behavior is identical - it waits for available memory before it can perform the next

Hi Kevin, What O/S? _PH_ is a DIR-type file, so your issue could be O/S-related. Also, could you confirm that your VOC _PH_ is in fact a DIR-type? If a record reaches 3MB in a hashed file, every multivalued database I've worked with gets cranky. Hope this helps, Tom [EMAIL PROTECTED]
