At about 1:30 this morning I gave up trying to figure out why my FWRITE was
failing with a 45 error code. I shut down my box and went to bed for the night.

Got up this morning, fired up the box, and went back into the program, checked
the syntax all over again, it really looked ok to me.

I ran the program this morning (without recompiling), and ouila(!) the
FWRITE worked (!) -- no 45 error code, no problem, zero error code. All the
records 
went into the PRIV mode KSAMXL file without errors.

I have run the program over and over again many times since this morning
and it has succeeded every time without errors.


So I have no idea what the 45 error code was all about....


Brian.
