Has the "Set file position" VI changed from 2010 SP1 to 2014

Has the "Set file position" VI changed since 2010 SP1? I am using 2014 and have converted the program from 2010 SP1 to 2014. It seems that the behaviour is different, specifically with default settings when not wired.

There's no change that I can see. What is your specific problem? The function has always set the position to Start by default.

It appears that it is now going to the wrong position in the file and overwriting text. Nothing has changed in the application VI, so I was wondering if something changed in the pallet instruction since I made a big jump in versions. I will keep investigating. Thanks for the feedback.

If every instance of the VI has unwired inputs, then it will set to the Start. If you're seeing it write data in the middle of your file, then check if there's a point in your code where the write operation prepends data maybe? This would appear as a shift in the overwrite location, but is actually an overwrite and then a shift.

Good luck!
