Help ! Script creating unwanted file

I have a script on a SUN box running OS 5.9
When I run it the script will complete with no errors
BUT....
it seems that for some reason it creates a file called " 0 ".
This file is empty (has 0 bytes).
Has anyone else had this happen and what am I doing that may be causing this???
Thanks in advance for all your help

Thanks, I'm a dope

The script is over 600 lines. Was breaking it down into pieces and running it and found I had a condition that I was thinking was greater than zero but actually it was outputting to a file called 0
Sorry for wasting everyone's time.
