Perhaps you reversed FFILEINFO and LIST/LISTFILE?  The LISTFile output
you quoted clearly shows "EXT SIZE 1" and "MAX EXT 8".

Hmm...the file was xxxx.xxxx.xxxx before :)

Where's the use of FFILEINFO?

It looks like MPEX has a problem (the "inside MPEX"'s "listf" output
is from MPEX code, not from the COMMAND/HPCICOMMAND intrinsic calling
LISTF).

What does:  calc finfo ("xxxx.xxxx.xxxx", "extsize") show?
