Well, there's no way I can know what it did then, but I just tried what
I did before and SYS$SCRATCH is pointing to my login dir, like I would
think it would. When would it point to the TEMP dir? When the login
dir is full, perhaps? If I know what it's doing, I can probably do a
work-around.
Thanks,
