Hi Greg, re: are these sets of actions that are showing the anomalous behavior? > > WMO ^S[IMN][VW][ABCDEFJ].. ....

I added all 4 actions to a new LDM pattern-action file on my workstation, and I am sending all WMO data to a separate instance of pqact for processing: my ldmd.conf entry: exec "pqact -f WMO etc/pqact_wmo.conf" Aside: the entry you have in your ldmd.conf file: EXEC "pqact -f PPS|DDS|WMO /usr/local/ldm/etc/pqact_wmo.conf" can be simplified by eliminating PPS|DDS from the feeds to process. The reason for this is that WMO is a compound feed type whose definition is: WMO == IDS|DDPLUS|HDS == IDS|DDS|PPS|HDS This has _nothing_ to do with the problem you are seeing... I only mention it to make sure you knew that adding PPS|DDS to WMO does nothing. re: > Thanks for your help - this seems really strange. Yes, this is completely strange! My plan is to run my LDM (v6.8.1) for a full day and then see if there are any differences in FILEd files. If there is not, I will upgrade my LDM to 6.9.8 and rerun the same test.
