I am building a KSAMXL file (in the HFS dir) -- it is named:

/DEV/PUB/BRIAN111rootsumm

Firstly, upon the build I do an FOPEN then an FWRITELABEL and the data written
to the user label is:

ROOTSUMM File Created On: 12/22/2009 At: 00:20:42.70 By: #S2 BRIAN,MGR.DEV,PUB

Then before I do an FWRITE to the file I do a LISTFILE on the file via the
COMMAND intrinsic. Works fine:

H106 BEFORE FWRITE

As you can see it is an empty file with zero records in it.

The I do the FWRITE (a single FWRITE).

Huh? The numrecs = 2 ??

I went into MPEX, changed the file code to zero so I could print the file.

I did a PRINT command on the file and it returned only one record, which is
correct.

So why is the LISTFILE command showing 2 records as the EOF ?

TIA,

Brian Donaldson.
