RE: Open file in RPG causing only certain records to appear.

You're running into the old record blocking issue.  By default, RPG manages
the blocking size to optimize performance.  When the program "WRITE"s a
record to a file, that record may or may not become available to other
programs.

There are a number of ways around it.  My company executed many performance
tests before concluding that writing a record to a logical file solves this
problem best.  That was, however, back on V3R1.

Then we modified the RPG program to turn on lr prior to exit and that
resolved it.  We now see all 8 records.  Why? 
Buffering issue?  The called RPG program writes the records to this file.
