We are having trouble accessing a text file after using the CLOSE ALTERNATE command. Error 3 occurs when trying to execute the APPEND FROM command. The problem only occurs intermittently and doesn't seem to be related to any certain type of network or O/S. The client exit the error and re-run the routing successfully.

Code is similar to this:

SET ALTERNATE TO (zcRepFile)
&& create text file....
CLOSE ALTERNATE
SELECT RepLine
APPEND FROM (zcRepFile) SDF

If anyone knows of a better way to do this or a way to trap for something before trying to append from the text file please let me know.
Thanks for your help-
