Mike, This is apparently a conflict with the User Guide which I have. I found that I have to specify: FILE<tab>-close<tab>-overwrite Even though the User Guide I have (which is slightly old) specified that the options were mutually exclusive. The -close option is needed to close the file handle, so that only the 1 product is sent out at a time.
