ANY IDEA WHY !!!

[venado]

I HAVE A ROUTINE THAT CREATE A xxx.DAT FILE USING LOW LEVEL COMMAND. THE PROBLEM I SOMETIME HAVE IS THAT SUCH A FILE DOES NOT GET CREATED, HOWEVER I DON'T GET ANY ERROR MESSAGE. IT SEEMS THAT GET LOST IN THE PROCESS OF CREATING SUCH A FILE.
BY THE WAY, I'M CREATING THE FILE IN THE SERVER MACHINE.

ANY SUGGESTION!!!!

THANKS

Are you creating a variable when you create the file? The example in the help shows:

gnErrFile = FCREATE('errors.txt')

Then you check the value of the variable:

IF gnErrFile < 0     && Check for error opening file
   WAIT 'Cannot open or create output file' WINDOW NOWAIT
ELSE  && If no error, write to file
   =FWRITE(gnErrFile , 'Error information to be written here')
ENDIF

See the help file under FCREATE() for more information.
