I found this hard to believe, so I tried it on my machine (PH 7.10G3, Alpha VMS
7.1). My code's below. I only get the two expected files (CCMLA%.RPT). Can you
doublecheck your code for any other 'go' or 'exec' statements, and check the
output file timestamps ($ dir/dat=all) - maybe your output files are hanging
around from a previous run. If that doesn't explain it, please post a complete
log of the run, and the output file timestamps.

Like Blue, I prefer to set my logicals up before invoking Quiz.
I also prefer the more versatile 'define' to 'assign', and '/user' gives more
appropriate scope to the logical (ie just the duration of the next program).
