Copying/manipulating UV dynamic files using operating system commands is asking for trouble. Unless you're very careful...
A) Check the original dynamic file isn't being updated or isn't open - whilst you were doing the copy. B) Check the target pathname, that the file doesn't exist and isn't open or being updated. I have seen your problem happen, where the destination dynamic files already existed. This causes a mess, as the T30FILE table, still has header file details for the original file and not the one you just overwrote. Hence, UV is very confused at the location or status of the file. You can view open dynamic files, via the UV supplied command "smat -d". Where ever possible, I prefer to have UV shutdown, before manipulating dynamic files with OS commands. Otherwise, do so at your own risk!

I have a file, my live ORDER (type 30) file. Via unix, I copy this file to my test account - copy is fine, all records there - no problem If I take that same file, and move it to my uvsql account, all I get is a fraction of the file. I have tried this twice and got same results. Any ideas why this occurs and how I can get this file into the uvsql directory/account intact ?
