If a PRINT command is encountered multiple times on a
particular record in output processing, then the
record will be printed multiple times.  It will also
be included in the total multiple times.

I can't see why it would effect a system command,
though.  I would suggest that he place a system "sh"
just before the system command in the processing, and
then execute the system command manually at that point
in the processing.  I would guess that there is some
kind of error that he is not seeing.
