Am I missing something? The DIR command confirms the existence of MAINDATA.ALL. However, the CHKFILE function returns a "0" when I reference the file.

As a test, I referenced the TEMP.RMD file in the CHKFILE function and it returned a "1" as it should have.

Version: R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (64), U.S. Version, Build: 9.5.2.20228 (I'm aware it's not the latest before "someone" reminds me. LOL. There's a long story behind the reason.)

======================
Test using MAINDATA.ALL

R>dir maindata.all

 Volume in drive E is Archive
 Volume Serial Number is 4EFE-1D11

 Directory of E:\rbase\data95\

07/17/2013  04:09 PM   5,250,322,728 MAINDATA.ALL
 1 File(s)       5,250,322,728 bytes
 0 Dir(s)      162,725,699,584 bytes free

R>SET VAR VTEST = (CHKFILE('MAINDATA.ALL'))

R>SHOW VAR VT%
Variable   = Value                   Type
------------------ ------------------------------          -------
VTEST    = 0                 INTEGER

======================
Test using TEMP.RMD which also exists in the same directory.

R>dir temp.rmd

 Volume in drive E is Archive
 Volume Serial Number is 4EFE-1D11

 Directory of E:\rbase\data95\

07/17/2013  04:27 PM              83 TEMP.RMD
 1 File(s)  83 bytes
 0 Dir(s)      162,725,699,584 bytes free

R>SET VAR VTEST = (CHKFILE('TEMP.RMD'))

R>SHOW VAR VT%
Variable     = Value                     Type
------------------ ------------------------------          -------
VTEST        = 1      INTEGER
