exists update

[Dennis Malen]

It is suppose to create the header when the file does not exist (I provided
that processing in a prior e-mail, although I can give it to you again if
you wish).

The header is not created although the rest of the export file works
properly as the info is appended many times throughout the day properly

The header is not created when the file does not exists. The "exists"
command is before the export command so it would be impossible for filepro
to see something that is not there.

Dennis.
