I could not find this user, by the command "who", but with ps -ef | grep sofri, I found a proccess belong to "sofri" with too much STIME and in TTY column just "-".

I wrote a routine that output any formatted number, and adjust it to left, plus output the length.
01 N PIC 9(4) VALUE 0123.
01 Z PIC Z(9).
***** CALL-NUM2LEFT *****
01 INP-NUM PIC X(25).
01 OUT-NUM PIC X(25).
01 OUT-NUM-LENGTH PIC 9(4).

In the header of the index or relative file, there is information about the file like key descriptions, & counts of alive records & deleted records.
If you read the file as binary file,
position 47-54 contain the number of records in the file (format: pic 9(12) comp-4).
I am using for more then a year a software, that can sending or view reports files, even from Dos prpomt window
From the application, you copy the spool file to some defined file, then a TSR program, capture the file. and redirect it to direct print or open a dialog box.

Here some lines from a .bat file
One of zip file, include 3 files.
============
rem unzip files from unix host

If that application need such huge capacity, and need to keep on-line old period recoreds, for my opinion, maybe you will reconsider, that the best cost/performance is to upgrate your system, that will handle such file, or to reduce the period you are keeping online.
Other sugetiones, if your...
There is a software that its main task to handle printing tasks, including from dos command line, or from programs.
It can also, to display/zoom pages by PgUp/Dn, every page that has page eject.

Hi
A simple trick in 2000YK was like,
"that is doing something else then you think at first sight".
000000 01 in-year pic 9(2).
000000 subtract 1 from in-year.
source was fixed to:
000000** subtract 1 from in-year.
000000 add 99 to in-year.

Hi
I am also don't think that relative files is good idea to keep data in core main files.
But for temporary/working or from external system, a file that is a line seq. & relative in the same time, so for example , you can read the record back, can be useful.

Hi
1. open file i-o. (if output, open f output, close f, open i-o f)
2. read main key ---> invlid msg
3. read first-alt key ----> invalid msg
4... rean n-alt key..s -----> invalid msg
5. write f-rec ----> invalid "abnormal msg".
From the first read until writing the record, the record is locked...
Hi all
As that said befor , in Micro Focus, any fixed line seq. file, can be tratead as a fixed ralativ file.
If you open output relative file & see the dump,
You can see that the recors end with 0D 0A, like a regular line seq. file.
That is a nice idea that must be adopted to ansi cobol...
