Thanks for your response. I had set the files=400 which is beyond the files limit of 255. I did not realize the max files limit was 255 which Neil made me aware of. When I set files=250 it worked. If the files limit of 255 is exceeded, the default value is utilized which I believe is 40. It has been some time since I worked with fpd. Thanks for refreshing my memory on work areas vs file handles,
