 >> I need some help (any would be thank) to fix a problem I have when
writing into a file from 2 different subprograms called from the same main
program on the same execution.

There are a variety of things you could play with in terms of buffering, but
I suspect they would have a negative impact on performance.

Two options that I can think of.

1) Have a completely separate routine responsible for the file I/I that both
of the existing programs call instead of doing their own IO

2) Designate the files as EXTERNAL which will cause the file to be opened to
the run unit and all programs will be writing to the same buffer etc.  Since
I haven't time to test this, this is theory only, but since it represents
the smallest programming change is probably worth a try.
