QUIZ and subfiles

[RUTMJVA]

Unless you did a KEEP on SET SUBFILE, it will always be a temp.

PORTABLE subfiles are always perm.

I know how frustrating it can be when you can't find your hidden temp files.

So here is a thought.

Put your SET SUBFILE line back in.

The default subfile name is QUIZWORK.

After the GO, do an ACCESS *QUIZWORK then REPORT ALL

If stuff appears, there's your subfile.

Some other things.

If there is already a file out there called QUIZWORK, it will have 
trouble writing to it.  (But it should ask what to do with it after the GO.)

If there is a file equation in your session that says something like 
FILE QUIZWORK;DEV=$NULL, then some other programmer is playing games 
with you with a logon UDC.
