Re: Opening a file

Tim,

The EXISTS() works fine. I actually OMITTED the template code for open
as I want to create it only in certain circumstances tested later on within
the proc. I therefore test via EXISTS: if it doesn't I create it, then open
it, and add a control record; otherwise I just open it.

Thanks,
Nelson
