Too Many Open Files - Linux 5.0

  I know something is wrong. The following is a dump of @ALLFILES[]

Starting with element 422 (450-423 are blank) I get a bunch of the same 
thing.

Right before this I used getnext to find all the entries that match one 
inquiry number.  There could easily have been hundreds, but each access 
should not list the same index.

* 10/11/10 19:04:53 --------------------------------  START
* Start: F10500385482000

[snip] everything from 414 to 17 - they are all the same

I did a CLOSE before the Start at the bottom and then it crashed when I tried to do the next inquiry processing.
I tried running this in readonly to make sure it was not updating anything.

This has run in the past but it has been a few months since I ran this report.

I get too many open files - 60 is the limit. I have to get this running.  It seems to affect more than just this report.

Any ideas.
Nancy
