Issue with reset of file equations

[Peter Bateman]

Hi  Anne:

   There maybe several  'reset' s at play here.

   First there is RESET the RESET option on the PUT verb
  this resets the record buffer to default values

   Then there is RUN COMMAND "RESET  MLGT335A"

   This takes away the file equation.

    QUICK resets temporaries with the primary file. unless you use
    RESET AT [ MODE , STARTUP ] option on the definition of the temporary 
item.
