First of all, this is more of an R&R question than a SQL question, but I couldn't find a newsgroup devoted to R&R...

I have a weird problem when calling R&R from sql*forms 3.0. I populate a table with runtime parameters to drive R&R. I then call R&R using the host() command. The problem is this: While each call to R&R should produce 8 different reports, only some of them are showing up. In the first batch, 4 of them appear, in the second batch 6 of them appear, in the sixth batch, only 1 of the reports gets created.

Adding to the weirdness is that the R&R runtime status file reports that all 8 reports got created just fine in each batch. The environment is: Oracle Server for Netware (version 6.0) running on a '486/50. Client machine is a '486 running DOS. Is it possible that it's an OS error? Perhaps the files actually are getting created, but they just don't appear when I do a directory listing?

Another clue, I used to try running all reports at once via a single call to R&R, but this actually killed the Novell server and we had to do a cold boot to get it back. If anyone has seen this kind of thing before, I'd sure like to hear how you handled it.

Thanks in advance,
