I am unable to RECREATE-FILE my LISTS file as I receive a "Variable exceeds maximum length" message in RTP51.



Can I DELETE-FILE my LISTS file and simply CREATE-FILE it again?



Or ... is there a get-around for the Maximum length error in RTP51?



Thanks for your previous response --- Dennis

<QUOTE>No real reason why not - off the top of our heads we BELIEVE that LISTS file in G were account specific and creating a file would make it account specific. So backup then give it a try :)
