Mark,
 
Are you by any chance 'shadowing' any of your files/groups/accounts on the
machine using 'netbase' to another machine or account?.  If the answer is
yes then that could possibly explain it.

Since upgrading to MPE/iX (from 'Classic' systems about
five years ago), I have had sporadic complaints about
jobs aborting because files that have just
been created are non-existant when opened by the next
process.  We have worked around this problem by
inserting :PAUSEs between the file creation and its
subsequent use.
 
A programmer just stopped by my office with this
senario.
 
!    copy filea,fileb
!
!pause 30
!    suprtool
     i filec
     o fileb,erase
     x
     exit
!
 
Upon executing, SUPRTOOL complained about the
non-existance of fileb.
 
The programmer is increasing the PAUSE to 120 seconds as
a work a round.
 
Has anyone else experienced this?  It really bugs me!
 
TIA,
