Greetings

Below is a piece of export script that I use in one of my daily jobs. The delete file operation fails all the time.

My question is when is a file opened by an export process actually closed and released? Is it not right after the 'End Export'?

Thanks

Sankar

.Logon xxxx
.begin export
  .export outfile a1
   seleect xxxx  -- single row export
    ;
.end export
.Accept export-1-value from file a1 ;
.system 'delete a1 ';   <== always fails with an error message no matter where I plug this command in

                        <== Error message "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."

.begin export
 .export outfile bigfile_&export-1-value ;
   select yyyyy ;
.end export
