Have you tried using the ELSE clause with the OPENSEQ? That's how I usually do it.

If it does not exist then create one and open it. ------- The seq file that I want to create/open is in the _HOLD_ directory, so its kinda record in the _HOLD_ file. I thot of working with the STATUS code returned by OPENSEQ. But, it returns a 0 if the record does not exist and the same 0 if it's a successful open!! How do I check the existence of this record/file? Thanks. ------- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
