3016.0. "sys$create creating file sys$login:*.log" by SYSTEM::newdial_2.reo.dec.com::JOHNSON (Richard Johnson , http://samedi.reo.dec.com) Tue Feb 25 1997 05:31

I have a problem where a file should be being created
using sys$create and then sys$connect in a particular
directory pointed to be a system logical. The file
should have extension .HIS

The file is being created in sys$login with an extension
of .LOG. The file contains execution of sylogin.com, the
intended information and then process accounting information.

The sylogin.com execution and process acounting information
should not appear in the intended file.

With a debug image the file is created exactly where it should 
be and with the correct contents.

Could someone point me towards what may be the problem?

Thanks
Richard

    
    Sounds like you might be following a logical name with a node name in
    it. Check accounting data or a network process being created? 
    If you can stall / hiber / make wait the program after the create,
    before the close, then use ANAL/SYS ... SET PROC... SHOW PROC/RMS=FWA
    
    fwiw,
