Hi Elmer, re: > Any reboots, upgrades etc. would have to be done by our sysadmin group, > and I have no idewa when they would be able to get to it. We will keep > trying. OK, sounds good. By the way, the one thing that I have never said because I assumed it was obvious is that your 'ldm' user must have permission to write the output file. So, in: FNEXRAD ^rad/NEXRCOMP/(...)/(...)_(........)_(....) FILE -close /data/radar/\1/\2/\2_\3_\4 'ldm' must be able to do a 'touch /data/radar/xxx'. If 'ldm' can't write to /data/radar, the action will fail. Is it possible that you meant your action to be: FNEXRAD ^rad/NEXRCOMP/(...)/(...)_(........)_(....) FILE -close data/radar/\1/\2/\2_\3_\4 Here you would be writing to ~ldm/data/radar/..., not /data/radar/... Just an thought...
