Char Results - overwriting reports
Customer called saying that when they created reports in RESULTS it
sometimes (randomly) overwrote reports. It was because the had all the
.qd files in the same directory. When users create reports they are
written as res0001.p, then res0002.p, res0003.p (see page 8-27 & 8-28
in RESULTS manual) in the directory where the .qd file is. So, these
users were all writing reports to the same directory.
The reason it was random is because if user A has written a res0001.p
and a res0002.p and creates a new one res0003.p will be written out
and if a res0003.p does not exist there is nothing to overwrite. Then
user B comes along and writes out his first report (res0001.p). Since
an res0001.p exists already it will be overwritten.
Each user must have their own .qd file, and these files must be
in the users separate working directories. A single directory
cannot contain more than one .qd file.
