Hi! 
Thank you for suggesting that I run PRTTP to check the 1991 Archive file where FILLM was skipping all data; it turned out that the Project inside the archive file was GP7B2, while I had been using GP0007 (shown by ArchiveQuery) or GP007B (shown in Scans for file VLA_XH91056_file1.dat) or GP007B (used in the Archive Query).
But, after importing that archive file with FILLM, LISTR only reports two sources out of the 20 or so seen in the Archive Scans listing for this file (looks like the first and last sources in the file).  Why might LISTR fail to report the other sources?   I can see my source of interest 0716+714 in the Scans listing for VLA_XH91056_file1.dat, as shown below along with some other related stuff.  The 55 visibilites reported by LISTR doe nto seem consistent with the 6.9 MB file size...
Can you suggest what might be the problem?  I did try FILLM with CPARM(5)=2, since PRTTP reported Subarray = 2, but it found no more data.
 Thanks!
