This is a warning regarding using strtofile() in a loop that contains a lot of rows.

The problem will be if you have a virus scanner because it will check the file each and every strtofile() gets called. Again, if there are a lot of rows this will be a performance problem.

If performance is a problem then you need to use low level file IO with fopen or concatenate the string in the loop and then output it just once with strtofile().


>I don't think Text-Endtext is well suited in this case. Have you tried strtofile()? Something like this should work.

>Create Cursor BILLCOMPRESS (PS C(254))
>Append From (m.CPSFILEPATH) Sdf
>scan
>   strtofile(trim.newpath,trim(ps),1)
>Endscan
