For the record:
In an earlier thread
(<
http://archive.midrange.com/rpg400-l/200812/msg00022.html>) I reported
that EXTFILE did not work on a file with a VARLEN field. After some
experimenting I found out that the VARLEN has nothing to do with it. It
turns out that it is the name of the file that causes the problem!
For some mysterious reason (maybe Barbara can shed some light) the name
'DIBFIL' magically stops EXTFILE from working (OVRDBF has no problem).
If I rename the file to anything else, everything is hunky dory again.
Spooky.
