Odd Length MPE Files

[Colin Glass]

We are currently running PowerHouse 8.19.C5 on an HP3000 machine.

We have found a problem with Quiz reporting from odd record length MPE
direct files.  We are seeing any files with a blocking factor more than 1 is
reporting erroneous data for some records.  The problem did not occur with
PH8.19.C4 with the same MPE ix operating system.

the problem is with the last record of each block.  The values reported for
the last one or more elements is wrong and the values change with successive
access within the same Quiz session.

Also, the files are reported fine as long as there are not too many records
on file.  For example, one file was fine for up to 199 records - after that,
every 6th record reported incorrectly.

Is there anyone else that has encountered this problem?  Any resolution?
