Our system has many accounts with, basically, the same file names, 
layouts, etc.  We found a problem with using the translate rather than 
open/read in programs. 
If a program logs from account to account and accesses info with a trans, 
the trans doesn't always open and read the file in the new account's file, 
rather the trans retrieves the info from an earlier account.
Am I right is supposing this phenomena is due to the file and record 
having the same ID and logging to another account doesn't flush the cache? 
 
Thanks,
Bruce

   The  vlist  should show a call to Ftrans, which basically does an OPEN
   and  a  READ,  and  caches both for later reuse (subsequent reads on a
   file open'd earlier don't waste the time of the open).  I also believe
   that  the file cache is for 10 files, then the oldest gets closed, and
   the record cache is for 50 records between all open files.   If you do
   multiple TRANS ops on the same file same record, but different fields,
   you  only pay the cost of search for the field (assuming your file and
   record are still IN the cache!)

   Hope this helps
