Hi Henry,
It is possible to do this in Client Server. I am not aware of a handy Z
program for doing this, so you have to basically write out the code yourself.
You can use the following code in a macro:
@DELETE.TEXT.ARRAY,
[EMAIL PROTECTED]("C:\","*","")^FILE_.=.;
@Memory.allocate(1)^MEM,
@Memory.clear(MEM),
@Memory.beginning(MEM),
@Memory.load.file(MEM,FILE),
[EMAIL PROTECTED](MEM)^TEXT TEXT^/TEXT[-/TEXT[""]+1]},
@Memory.free(MEM)},
@CLEAN.UP
DELETE.TEXT.ARRAY
""^X,
DO{>/TEXT[X]^X ""^/TEXT[X]}
CLEAN.UP
""^FILE^MEM^TEXT
@File.open.dialog is an NPR Macro that opens up the Windows Open File dialog
window. If you select a file, it will be stored in the local variable called
FILE. Then a Memory Buffer is allocated using @Memory.allocate (MEM is a local
variable for storing the buffer's handle), @Memory.clear wipes out any contents
of the buffer, @Memory.beginning moves your cursor to the beginning of the
buffer, @Memory.load.file loads the contents of FILE into the buffer,
@Memory.read.text reads each line of the buffer and they are then stored in an
array called /TEXT. Lastly, @Memory.free wipes out the buffer.
I usually call the macro from a Footnote: AL START macro.name
Once you have the contents of your file in /TEXT, you can then incorporate it
into your report in a variety of ways.
Good luck,
Brian Schmit

First off, thanks for all the posts. Sadly, from what I can
determine, Client Server doesn't support the Z.dos functions to read
files. Is anyone aware if there are Client Server equivalents for
these functions?
Thank you,
Henry Hansen @ Palliser.
