Roger,

for newer 64-bit servers we have been having new error messages come up, but not everywhere. No idea why.

On a prior support here, we mentioned errors on Zap and Pack. This is related to files that are in a batch prg that is emptying and reloading work files for special statements. I think that is working, but not 100% sure yet. You made a change to dclip1 to try to stop the error. We have loaded in two locations and waiting to see if all errors stop. so far so good.

We have one more issue related to the same routines. When we zap the file, we added years ago the reindex because of problems not re-indexing caused. Never a problem until now. It causes at these same locations a file write error after a while, not necessarily the first time. It is the standard fox driver mdx file.

I think all this is timing with the work station/server, as it works fine on the server, even the prior dclip1 on zap and pack. It just occurs at work stations.

Wondered if anybody else has ever reported these types of problems, and what we can do to resolve the file write error. (guess I could not reindex, but it may then be out of index after a while)

thanks

The dbPack() and dbZap() problem has been there for years.

I found that you always have to close and reopen the database after either of these operations.
