Fixed==>>   some files i can NOT add fields using    1. - Define files

thanks for all the help
i did find a solution.
i looked for all files with the strange 794 in them that where filepro
a listing is below - why they exist i don't know
all of them ended with .030794
for some reason filepro did not like the last three digits

when these files where removed filepro works normally

thanks
papa tony

thanks for the input and help
here are answers to the questions asked
1)
  set | egrep "(^LANG|^LC produces
LANG=en_US

2) file permissions where
     -rwxr-xr-x  1 filepro filepro 403444 Aug 12  2007 ddefine
I ran setperms it permissions are now what john said they should be
     -rwsr-xr-x  1 filepro filepro 403444 Aug 12  2007 ddefine
tried ddefine again - same result.

3)data files locations:
all files are in the standard /appl/filepro directory on 1 hard drive.

any more ideas will be appreciated
thanks

=========================
original question below:

we are running Linux filepro version  5.0.14D4
disk space is 97% free
some files i can NOT add fields using    1. - Define files
some i can
with the problem files

      i can NOT add fields using    1. - Define files
     define files looks like it works but it does not add new fields
     the map.tmp will HAVE the fields i tried to add using Define Files
     the records will NOT count down as expected
     the file will then be locked with a lockfile
     also a file will be created with the name
             filename794map
             - what is a 794
           the filename794map will contain the map with the new fields???
           the 794 fill will be in the filepro directory

end with

now some files work correctly.

Suggestions as to what to do will be appreciated.
