Jerry,

Have you been able to work out against this problem? Here is our scenario:
the Batch_Service application runs external program from it Progs directory. Right before running the program we issue:

SET PROCEDURE TO myProgram

then after the process is done we do

SET PROCEDURE TO

And we found that we can not copy a new version of FXP to that folder until we shut down the Batch Service process. We tried to include CLEAR PROGRAM, but it didn't help. So, is there a way to release FXP from memory once the process was run or we need to try compiling a program in run-time (my colleague had objections to this idea, I don't recall the exact reasoning).

Thanks in advance.

>No, just a PRG. This .PRG in question does use some low level file functions but it's the .FXP that isn't released. The files that the .PRG access with FPUT(), etc... always seem to be released.
