I can't speak to the practical limits, but the 999999 mentioned in the pdf is a limitation of the GUI widget used to control that, not of the hashed files themselves.

If you mean append to an existing file in your routine, SEEK is what you seek. It's not a "how to open the file" kind of thing, but something you do just after opening it before you start writing.

As noted, 'tis not in the Help either.

Tsk, tsk... that's what happens when you post into a thread without reading the replies first.

Pony up a Premium Membership for her.

Weird... I've got an enormous number of jobs that use various mixtures of isolation, update actions, array and transaction sizes and have never seen an issue like this. I'd suggest you open a ticket with your official Support provider, see if it's anything they've ever encountered before. You might ...

There is? It didn't come up in the ellipsis list of functions and the OP's error suggested it didn't exist. The online help has an entry for Quote but actually brings up DQuote.
