I'd set up journalling over the file in question, run the program, display the journal data to a PF and then look for the DL event to see the program name that's actually deleting the record.
I'm sure you've checked this but does the file exist in any other library, say QTEMP, and being overridden so that you're not actually looking at the file you think you're looking at?

nope, no journalling either

Subject: What program is deleting my record?

Hi

Testing an OPM RPG that's supposed to write to a PF, but at the end of the program call, nothing there. Debugging shows that the write operation takes place, but nothing either. With DSPJOB, I see :

File Level
MyFile 11 tofile(myfile) mbr(mymbr)
9 FRCRATIO(1)

I'm guessing the force ratio is not in effect at the moment of the write?

I put an FEOD after the write, now I can see the record, but some other program must be deleting it again. How can I lock the record so I can trace that program? I've tried updta and a select in strsql.

Thanks
