PFLOGFILE and logtext

filepro experts,
HELP - PLEASE.  Working on a WIN SERVER system, with filepro 5.0 (Sorry 
we keep working toward an update to current but it has not happened.)

I use PFLOGFILE and logtext all the time.  But it is driving me nuts today.

One particular process table does not seem to be writing the expected 
logs.  Well it did write one for one user at least during the @once 
processing then nothing else was added.

Ok here I will try to explain.

@once processing
PUTENV "PFLOGAPPEND", "ON"

Logname=getenv("USERNAME"){-"INTHCB-"{doedit(@td,"YMD","6"){".log"
logpath="P:/tmp/";logpath=xlate(logpath,"/",chr("92"))

putenv "PFLOGFILE",logpath{logname{""

If I run the debugger at this point and ask for the getenv("PFLOGFILE") 
it reports correctly.

I do a few logtext command to write something in this logfile. Close the 
processing,  But there is nothing added.  The log file is not  created 
at all.

I use logtext  all the time. I have never had it not work like this.  I 
tried hardcoding the name, I can not figure out why this one process 
will not write a log file when all the others work fine.

Any ideas what else I can try?  I depend on these log files, since error 
reporting is worthless with these users.

Just another weird thing: the command line includes a -tf 200000 to 
increase form size but if I getenv("PFFORMTOKSIZE") I get 125000 which 
is what is in the config file.
