Re: Stupid question

Last possible thought from my feebly mind:

Is there a CL program in there somewhere, with OVRDBF or some other mischief, or is it possible that there is a library list issue that is giving you an old copy of one of the files?

Both files are single format files.

I just double checked. File I am attempting to update is an update
file. I think compiler would have complined.

I was hoping to modify the original program to not write the duplicate
record in the first place. Clear the m file, run morning job. Noon,
move current file to am and run again. Would seriously reduce excess
IO. I thought I could get this simple thing working and then work on
the file build itself.
