Focus Six for Windows/Lotus limits

Hello,
I have an old process running in Focus Six for Windows 6.1.3 which creates a Lotus Extract file that gets exported to a Buisness Partner. The file has a rec length of 760 (documentation says Lotus only supports up to 512) and is approx 6,224 kb. Periodically in a batch cycle, we loose records from the file in the last step that says ON TABLE HOLD FORMAT LOTUS. The same batch cycle runs every night.

Questions;
Is the the record length, focsort, or is the file too large? If I move this process to WebFOCUS will the same limits apply? Does HOLD FORMAT COMMA have increased capability?

Thanks for any help or thoughts anyone can provide.
I'm stumped as to why this suddenly is broken and what steps I should take to fix it.
Thanks,

Carol

OK, I can understand why no one answered this.
Who the heck still uses Lotus!!
Anyway, my problem only happens with a certain number of records when creating the Lotus Extract.

I have moved my process to WebFocus and I'm creating a comma file via ReportCaster. It's working fine so far, hope there are no limits on HOLD FORMAT COMMA
