Printing to a file

[George Simon]

Yes, but it is writing the header and the first record.  It only barfs when
it tries to write the next record.
Anyhow, that problem has been solved.  I'm not writing to that directory
anymore, I'm writing to /tmp and it doesn't give me an error there.
The problem now is that only the last record and the totals are in the file.
I guess it is overwriting the file each time.
How is this avoided in *nix?  It (the syntax) would work fine in Windows.

| 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:
|
7  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
|        . If:
|        Then: printer type "hp_accting"
|
8  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
|        . If:
|        Then: dt(8,mdyy)=@t4
|
9  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
|        . If:
|        Then: printer file "/u/tracking/"{3{"_onhand_"{dt{".pcl"
|
0  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
|        . 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'.
