Thank you John.
When I look into the %temp% directory I see when the files are created, press F5 to refresh, and see the size remains constant at zero, except for file be.1. I see files named cache.##, be.##, sort.## and xfrm.## coming and going. I am running v27.
Having said this, just heard back from the user and he switched to running the code in v26 and it works fine. No large cache.## files being created. He was getting the large cache files using v25. So perhaps an issue in v25 that was solved for v26 and later?
As always, thanks for your quick replies.

My guess is that when you look at the directory, the job is still active and the files have not been closed yet, so the sizes are not current.

Subject: cache files in the temp folder
Hello,
I support an SPSS macro based program that calculates percentiles for a multiple imputation type file. The file has X imputations for a variable, and it computes the percentiles using Y replicate samples from the data. One of the users reports that when he runs the program he gets many cache.## files in his temp folder, each of these cache.## files of very large size. I run the same code, and I also get many cache.## files in my temp folder, but all of them 0kb. Why the difference...?
Thanks!
