Re: Seeking adivce

May I suggest creating a *DTAQ in QTEMP?  If you were to created the *DTAQ 
with a unique name, you would also be "guaranteed" no duplicate PO's. Were 
I in your shoes, I would fear the overrides required to access the member 
containing the PO's to be created.  It sounds as though one of them is not 
succeeding occasionally.

Hope this helps.

program could be run, I didn't want to have to "reinvent the wheel"
just to print the exact same thing. This work file told me exacty what
POs to print, I just wrote the logic to print them at this point then.
Luckly, I do have access to the source, we just don't get support for
modifying it... imagine that... :-)

>>> I thought about an array, but I don't know how many POs might be
processed. It might be one, it might be hundreds. Maybe a data area
would be better, or maybe there is something I don't know about that I
could use. I am up to try anything, I just want to try an eliminate
this problem we have now (and maybe learn something as well).
