We are getting the error in a large ASREML run of "STOP SCRATCH FILE DATA STORAGE ERROR". By default, ASREML is writing a scratch file to /var/tmp on a Sun Solaris 4.2 system. There is plenty of disk space elsewhere. Can we write scratch file to a new default location? thanks mick -- Asreml mailinglist archive: http://www.chiswick.anprod.csiro.au/lists/asreml
