RE: File processing problem

["Saunders, Martin P" <martin.saunders@xxxxxxxx>]

Sorry, that was a bit vague wasn't it...  The file is read from the
beginning each time. What I did not mention is that the first job deletes
the file reference 1 records and reorganises the files before the second job
runs.  I have run the program which deletes the file reference 1 records
interactively and it definitely deletes only its own records.  The problem
is that when run in batch it appears to be deleting the preceding file
reference 2 records as well.  Given that the file is reorganised before the
second job runs, I think that can be the only explanation.

If anyone has any ideas, I will be grateful as I am at a bit of an impasse.

Cheers

Martin

It is really hard to tell without seeing the code but
my guess it is how the file is being positioned/read. 
I assume it isn't reading every record in the file. 
The program probably assumes all 2's are after the 1's
or something like that.  I would look at how the file
is being positioned/read carefully.
