SUBFILE, it will always be a temp.<br>

PORTABLE subfiles are always perm.<br>
<br>
I know how frustrating it can be when you can't find your hidden
temp files.<br>
<br>
So here is a thought.<br>
<br>
Put your SET SUBFILE line back in.<br>
<br>
The default subfile name is QUIZWORK.<br>
<br>
After the GO, do an ACCESS *QUIZWORK then REPORT ALL<br>
<br>
If stuff appears, there's your subfile.<br>
<br>
Some other things.<br>
<br>
If there is already a file out there called QUIZWORK, it will
have trouble writing to it. (But it should ask what to do with
it after the GO.)<br>
<br>
If there is a file equation in your session that says something
like FILE QUIZWORK;DEV=$NULL, then some other programmer is
playing games with you with a logon UDC.<br>

Has anyone any idea what I have tripped over? The problem script is:

Thank you for the formatting suggestions. However the problem is not what goes
into the file. The problem is that the output file is never created at all,
neither as a TEMP nor PERM. If I remove the SUMMARY option from the REPORT
statement and remove the SET SUBFILE statement then the output goes to the
terminal and what I see there is what I expect to go into the subfile. When I
change back to REPORT SUMMARY and SET SUBFILE then there is no output.
My question has to do with what is happening that is preventing the subfile
from being created.
