Yves: It sounds like you're getting an E87. This error indicates that a read returned less than the expected number of bytes. It could be on a data file or on a qdir. If it happened on an erase, it could be the qdir that's bad. If not, it's probably the file itself. This can happen if a key points to a record which is beyond the limits of the file.
This may have nothing to do with your use of ENTER/EXIT. It may just coincidentally be happening due to unrelated issues such as hardware or power problems.
Unfortunately, your discription is too vague and your version of Comet way too old for us to provide much more help than that. It might be interesting to see if eliminating the ENTER/EXIT programs eliminates the problem just to rule them out.
