Ok, in the past and on our current version 7 script machines when the
data station reaches the end of the file, I script the file being moved
to the archive, and the .bds file to be deleted.
 
But now in version 9, with no changes of any substance to the code, BWS
is producing multiple .bds files.  It seems that as I parse files with
more than 999 lines, that additional .bds files are created, and named
.bds1 .bds2 .bds3 etc.
 
Has anyone seen this?  Can I stop it?  
 
I know I can code a new procedure to loop back thru the directory and
delete any file with "bds" in its name, but that seems clumsy and will
eventually come back to bite me.  But I can't leave these files sitting
there, users drop files into this directory, and this is making my
script look like it is really messy.
 
If there is some slick new data station command that makes BWS clean up
after itself I would really like to know what that is.
 
Thanks
