<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would like to do the following:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I want to add a header to an ascii file using the
export command. I have no problem doing it on the creation of the file but this
file will be exported to daily until it gets to a certain size, at which time it
will be removed.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As an export statement can easily append to the
file once it is in existence, I want to know if the file is there each time I
start to export. If not processing will then create the header (which is a
one time event in the life of this file). Once created then I can export to the
file without having to initiate sending the header.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Question: How can I determine that the file does or
does not exist. Important point: This should not be visual as the processing has
to be able to tell if its there and do its job. It must be automated and part of
the processing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can anyone help me or put me in the right
direction. I am on 4.8.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks!</FONT></DIV>
