This line with qual blank should be giving you fileq = 'filen@'.
You are probably looking for fileq = 'filen' without the @ symbol.
Some kind of conditional probably should be set to prevent the '@' 
symbol from being set when qual is blank or perhaps to add '""' 
after the '@' symbol when qual is blank.
