Reporting to a pre-defined disc file

[Byron Welch]

Jeff,
  I have had this problem when writing more records to the file than the
report limit allows.  In your case more than 200000.   I have also run into
this when I am outputting a multiline record.  For example report item1 skip
item2 skip item3 skip item4 skip item5  in this case even though you report
limit is 200000 and your file build is 200000 the file will only hold 40000
records each one with five lines.  
  In wither case when powerhouse gets to the end of the file it tries to
write another record and you get the duplicate file name message.

Subject: Reporting to a pre-defined disc file




I am converting a Quiz routine from version 5.06.c to version 8.19.c2 and
am experiencing a problem when reporting to A disc file.  The purpose of
the routine is to gather data (obviously) and write it to a disc file that
is pre-defined using MPEX.  The code ran fine under version 5.06.c but when
I run the code in 8.19.c2 I get the following error:

   *E* DUPLICATE PERMANENT FILE NAME  (FSERR 100)

This is a breakdown of the code I am using:

    ACCESS ...

   :FILE FICHEDSK;DEV=DISC;REC=-132,85,F,ASCII;DISC=200000;CCTL;SAVE

   REPORT ...

    SET REPORT DEVICE DISC NAME FICHEDSK LIMIT 200000
    SET PAGE LENGTH 60 WIDTH 132
    SET NOLOCK

Anyone have any ideas?  I would appreciate the help.

Thanks,
