Error 3088: FileRead: Attempt to Read Past End of File

Question:

I have received the following error message

3088:
Exrec=Fileread (ExFile)
Winbatch 32 97B
2.4 bbp

This occurs as the program begins to merge 5 files in one new file. The new file is created and begins to be populated, then crashes.

This has worked for 3 months but since we switched to NT servers no longer works.

We use WIN95 client.

Any info would be gratefully received.

Answer:

It seems you are trying to read a file past its EOF marker.

So....obviously you are not checking each file read for an EOF marker AND one of your files is a tad shorter that you expect.
