Hi,ALL
I want to write a dbafile.

the fex is bellow
FILEDEF MYCAR DISK mycar/mytest.mas
-RUN
-WRITE MYCAR
-WRITE MYCAR FILENAME=MYTEST,$
-WRITE MYCAR SEGNAME=mmmmm,$
-WRITE MYCAR FIELDNAME=fffff,$
-WRITE MYCAR END

FILEDEF MYCAR DISK mycar/mytest.mas (APPEND
-RUN
TABLE FILE CAR
ON TABLE HOLD AS MYCAR
PRINT
COMPUTE AA/A200 = 'USER ='||CAR||',ACCESS=R, RESTRICT=VALUE_WHERE, NAME=SYSTEM, VALUE=CAR EQ '''||CAR||''',$'; AS ''
ON TABLE SAVE AS MYCAR FORMAT TAB

END
-RUN


BUT when the fex run to END the procedure ended.
the result :

FILENAME=MYTEST,$
SEGNAME=mmmmm,$
FIELDNAME=fffff,$
END


so the table file procedure does not run.

question:
can anybody modify the -WRITE MYCAR END to write "END" to the file and not end the procedure

Works for me on 7.6.9, Win XP.

Could be an issue with 7.7.01

Do you have an earlier verion to try it on ?

Did you try removing this unnecessary line of code?

ON TABLE HOLD AS MYCAR

Thanks Waz and Dan
I have resolved this problem

How did you solve the problem ?

It may help others in the future.

here is my fex:

FILEDEF MYCAR DISK C:\ibi\apps\mycar\mytest.mas
-RUN
-WRITE MYCAR
-WRITE MYCAR FILENAME=MYTEST,$
-WRITE MYCAR SEGNAME=mmmmm,$
-WRITE MYCAR FIELDNAME=fffff,$
-WRITE MYCAR END

FILEDEF MYCAR DISK C:\ibi\apps\mycar\mytest.mas (APPEND
-RUN
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
COMPUTE AA/A200 = 'USER ='||CAR||',ACCESS=R, RESTRICT=VALUE_WHERE, NAME=SYSTEM, VALUE=CAR EQ '''||CAR||''',$'; AS ''
ON TABLE SAVE AS MYCAR FORMAT TAB

END
-RUN

So you changed your FILEDEF to an absolute location.

yes

thanks Waz.

Do you mind updating the title to [SOLVED] -WRITE an END to the file.

This can be done by clicking on the Edit from the first post.
