QUICK problem

[Michael Lee]

I think Bob nailed this one. It looks like you have temporary files being
created. This is probably the best way to do what you want actually. This way
each process has their own version of the direct file and the subfile. To see
your temporary files do a LISTFTEMP <object>.<group>.<account> (basically same
syntax as LISTF). To create a temporary subfile just don't specify the KEEP
option on the SUBFILE statement. To build a temporary direct file append ;TEMP
at the end of your BUILD statement. If you are using QUTIL to build this direct
file-don't. Use the HP BUILD command (i.e. BUILD
filename;REC=-80,,F,ASCII;TEMP).

These are just suggestions of course. You want to look at what the program was
originally intended to do and where the direct file and the subfile are used
elsewhere before making such changes.
