Fellow listers

While trying to figure out why our microfiche 'feed' to an outside vendor
stopped working ten days ago, I was using 'listf ,9' to see what record,
in
the input file, was being accessed.  To my surprise the 'listf ,9' command
kept reporting that record 0 of the file was being read while GLANCEXL
kept
reporting an ever increasing record number (See below).

Any Ideas?

The file you are sending is opened for mapped file access.  That is the
"M" next to IN in the Access column in Glance.  Glance accurately
reports the record pointer of mapped files, but I'll assume LISTF, 9 isn't
quite smart enough to figure out mapped files.  However I wish Glance
had enough smarts to give accurage record pointer information for
KSAM/XL files.
