LISTF ,2 reveals the following information:
FILENAME CODE ------------LOGICAL RECORD----------- ----SPACE----
SIZE TYP EOF LIMIT R/B SECTORS #X MX
LOG5531 512B VAO 1449 1023 1 384 1 8
^^^^ ^^^^
What's going on here? Unfortunately I had to delete that file to
make the application work again (it complained about not being
able to append to that file).

Unfortunately I had to delete that file to The 'V' under the TYP heading above indicates that the record length for this file is variable as opposed to fixed. Records can be added to the file until the allocated space is exhausted. The 'O' part of that field indicates that it is a circular file, meaning that the once the file is full the newest records added will overwrite the the oldest record. This is a common format for logfiles where you might be interested in seeing only the last N transactions. Gary Lowell glowell@allegro.com
