Jerry,

I think you may be better served to have the web services jobs write their results (records) to a data queue, and have a single program that reads from that *DTAQ and writes to a file ...  (that could even be "Program B" in your original post that could also act as the "listener"...)

Data queues perform much better than any database file I/O, either native or SQL-based.

Also, you could then have each web services program send a special message like "**EOF**" (or "*I AM DONE*")  to tell the listener job when it has finished ...  this should make it much easier for "Program B" to know for certain when they are all finished.

Just my two cents ... :-)

I am adding some additional logging to nail it down.
I am having a sneaking suspicion that the web service pgms are NOT actually done. That would make the most sense.

Subject: Re: FRCRATIO issue

I second FEOD(N)..

Additionally, I'll say that FRCRATIO(1) is never the right answer now-a-days...

Lastly, if the submitted web programs are truely done, ie. those jobs have ended.  Then there shouldn't be any reason not to see the records regardless of FRCRATIO() or the use of FEOD(N).
