Re[2]: DSPJOB open files display?

[eric.delong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

     Tim, 
     
     Bear in mind that if NEWSIC is blocking records, then the file 
     information data structure is not updated until the next block of 
     records is loaded. So, while it may appear that your priming file 
     (NEWSIC) is still pointing to record 1, it may not actually be 
     processing that record.

Hi All,
My company uses the OPEN/CLOSE on all update operations in order to 
avoid locking.  I am still curious about the way the IO
COUNT on the DSPJOB, for the file being updated (MKTLF022) is 
fluctuating wildly up and down  --WHILE-- it is still on the FIRST 
record of the (NEWSIC) National Account # driving file.
Please, see code below:

C                     SETOF                     11
C                     READ NEWSIC                   10     <--Natl Acct

C                     ENDIF
C                     ENDIF

This is very pain-in-the-assish, as I like to understand why a certain 
thing is happening, and it doesn't make any sense that while it is on 
record number 1 of the NEWSIC file that there would be any fluctuation 
(other than ascending) on the file being updated (MKTLF022)
If you know let me know.
Thanks!
