Re: Stupid question

Since pm file is larger than am file and has no deletes, it looks like
the equality test works.

What exactly is it that fails?

Does it work correctly anywhere, like in a test environment?

A CL is involved.  No OVRDBF.  Program is to run in batch.  A specific

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.
