RE: Records written to a file don't show up immediately

Are you writing the records to the physical file?  If so, the RPG program is
holding the records in a buffer until they fill its calculated block size.
Some of the alternatives include using FEOD in the RPG program, changing
FRCRATIO on the file, or writing the records to a logical file.  The latter
is what we generally do here as we discovered it's much faster than the
alternatives. 

Hope that helps.

The problem we're having is once the program writes the records to the file
there they are not visible for quite a while. For instance the program wrote
several records to the file at 5:50 AM, but we couldn't see the records
until after 7:30 AM.
