| Hello everyone,
| 
| Just found this problem. I am not sure if it is filePro or UNIX problem. I 
| am on 4.8 filePro and AIX Unix.
| 
| Here's the problem. I have an output processing table that creates an ascii 
| file with "export ascii". It is a fixed length ascii file being created. 
| The file is written to the disk correctly. All information is correct and 
| intact. We'll call this fileone. In the next line I use:
| 
| system "cp /tmp/fileone /tmp/filetwo"
| 
| When I view fileone it has all the info in it. When I view filetwo its has 
| 3/4's of the file but not the whole file.
| 
| Obviously I have a timing issue. I tried creating fileone in a call 
| processing table thinking it would slow up the system before it gets to the 
| copy command in the main processing table. No such luck! When I create 
| fileone I do use the "write fileone" command for each line so the line 
| being send should be appended immediately.

Have you tired setting PFSYNC to ALL, or just issuing a SYNC command in
processing?
