export ascii - a weird behavior / figured out but not resolved

OK, this is what I have:

if I run:  /appl/fp/rreport [file] -f [form] -u -a -h "Some header"

The process selected over 300K records and processing table kicks in ...

User answers a few questions and process worked with and/or dropped 
records based on given answers.

--- The above  creates the export ascii exp = export.csv -x ---


If I run: /appl/fp/rreport [file] -f [form] -u -a -y y[form] -v v[form] 
-i[index] -h "some header" -t 165000

The -v table kicks in and user answers questions.  lookup - is performed 
and 83 records are selected ... but the target document is not created.


If I step it through using debug on, I can clearly see the commands 
true/false as one expects, I can check values being assigned to 
exp(##)="some value" and [write] command reached ...


Why using -v, -i does not create the file while the other option does?

If I inquire the table using the index used, I can find records and 
there are values shown on screen, not scrambled so the index must be good.


Is this a runtime issue or coding issue?

Regards,


Jose
