It's outputting two records, as reflected E by the results you're seeing. It should only output one record to get  what you are expecting.   8 That said, there is one more set of steps you could try:   $ copy nla0: empty.dat! $ set file/attr=rfm=udf empty.dat * $ pipe command | append sys$pipe empty.dat! $ set file/attr=rfm=stm empty.dat   G I tried that here with the SHOW DEV command and it produced the results H I expected.
