We are having problems with a rather large file. We are able to GO TO the bottom of the file but we cannot search past a certain point. We have also written some COBOL apps to do some data processing on the file and it stops midway as if there is an END OF FILE marker there. Usually we would bring it up in WINHEX and locate the offset and correct the problem. Now when we try and go to that offest WINHEX hangs and we get an error.

Any ideas?

It looks like the file system on which the file resides is corrupt.

Thanks Stefan.

We actually went back to the steps that created the file and redid them and we're ok now. Something must have been corrupt on the file.
