Hello,
I am working with fgetstatus from AB4.85 and not getting anywhere.
Could someone post an example with an Exploration providing whatever
fgetstatus returns to your afl?
I am trying to use fgetstatus to find out if a file exists. If it
does, then I will have my afl do one thing and if not then I will have
the afl do something else.
Thanks for the help.
