A processing which dumps data to CSV using export ascii decided to stop 
working.

Per documentation, if target file is not an absolute path, the target 
file is then created in %PFPROG%/fpmerge, in my case, this would be 
c:\appl\fpmerge.

Couple of observations, fpmerge does not exist - What happens then?  
Where does the file go?


Is there an fp variable that would override this?


Just for kicks, I changed the export to target c:\appl\fpmerge\jose.csv 
(after creating fpmerge of course), ran the process and nothing ... file 
is not created and yet, the export command is executed, data is assigned 
to columns and the write command is reached.


Where did the export output go?

I searched C:\ for jose.csv and nothing came back, which to me would 
mean that the file was never created.  What gives!?!


Regards,
