| Using SCO Unix filePro version 5.0.08R4
| I need to print a report to a file.
| I’m using this syntax in a subroutine called DEFINEP:
| 
| DEFINEP. If        .
|        Then:
|  27  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
|        . If:
|        Then: printer type "hp_accting"
|  28  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
|        . If:
|        Then: dt(8,mdyy)=@t4
|  29  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
|        . If:
|        Then: printer file "/u/tracking/"{3{"_onhand_"{dt{".pcl"
|  30  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
|        . If:
|        Then: filename1=""{3{"_onhand_"{dt{".pcl" ; return
| 
| The problem is that when I run the report, the report header and the first
| record gets written to the file and then I get this error message:
| 
| *** A System Error Has Occurred ***
| 
| /u/tracking/1148_onhand_05262004.pcl
| 
| On File: /u/tracking/1148_onhand_05262004.pcl
| 
| Output Processing
| Line Number: 29
| Permission denied
| 
| What do I have to do to avoid this error?

See to it that user 'filepro' is permitted to write in direcotry
'/u/tracking'.
