Sometimes this can be dangerous. We had a routine to open files in a common area. We had a live account in one directory and a test in another. If you switched back and forth between live and test you were still pointing to the same files. We had to create a 'close files' routine when switching back and forth. Anyway, we no longer share test and production on the same machine. Equipment is so cheap these days we bought a test server. Be careful ! Anthony

The SandBox VOC needs to know about files. So, I did something similar like... SELECT MYPOINTER WITH F1 = "F" COPY FROM MYPOINTER TO VOC SELECT MYPOINTER WITH F1 = "PA" COPY FROM MYPOINTER TO VOC 2. The first program that I tried ran OK. The second and third programs ended abnormally with messages like... "Improper data type" when trying to read a record from a file newly defined in the SANDBOX VOC... like read R.Record from F.FileName else R.Record = '' I suspect that it has to do with line three of the following... ED VOC FILENAME 1: F 2: FILENAME 3: D_FILENAME 3. Thus, further commentary would be appreciated. --Bill -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 08, 2005 7:23 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: Re: [U2] New UV Accout VOC Bill. From your sandbox account create a Q-pointer to your production account like this. Let's say the production account is called PRODUCTION ED VOC MYPOINTER NEW ITEM TOP .I 001 Q 002 PRODUCTION 003 VOC 004 .FI 'MYPOINTER' filed Now do this SELECT MYPOINTER WITH F1 = "V" 963 items selected COPY MYPOINTER TO: (VOC This should copy all the missing 'verbs' from PRODUCTION to SANDBOX.
