*Philip,*
WRK is just a Global path I am using in the program , to make sure to create
all the tables needed for the processing
in a specific path.
nothing related to the SAS . WORK folder
*Tom , *
I looked at the links , good Information.

Well the same program with the same amount of data , works fine in a Sun OS
5.10 machine , apart from the
different machine SUN OS compare with Linux - Program , Data remains the
same.
