Hi everyone I'm new to these forums and really like them.
I've got somewhat of a simple question...
I want to know how to check if a file exists.
by searching the forums, I found some code and made this code to try the exemple I found.
ASSIGN FILE-INFO:FILE-NAME = "filepath".
IF NOT FILE-INFO:FILE-TYPE BEGINS "F" THEN DO:
OUTPUT TO filepath. /*to create the file*/
OUTPUT CLOSE.
END.
after this step I try to read the file with INPUT FROM filepath.
however, I still get the error that the file does not exists. So I'm guessing this does not enter the if condition...
any help would be apreciated.
thank you,
