But the cases where you read or write files based on the input are fairly easy to identify and will often need more screening that just being valid file names. I don't see how you would expect "<" to tell you the file name is invalid other than through error. To me that's a non-expected error. What VALIDATE checks is really minimal and you can do the same with a bunch of locate and verify stages. Rob
