Tom,

Here is an eloquent method to check the existence of file or directory.

-- Example
   SET VAR vBackupDir1 TEXT = 'XLS'
IF (CHKFILE(.vBackupDir1)) <> 1 THEN
    MKDIR .vBackupDir1
ENDIF

There is no need to use extra steps and variables to check the existence of file or directory.

Have fun!

Very Best Regards,

Razzak

I have been using an autobackup routine for years on many different computers and never had a problem until now. The only thing is that I have put it on a computer with C is ssd and D regular harddrive. Following is the code where it hangs up. I create the backup folder if it does not exist even though it does backup I get a message 'Unable to create directory' 2269. If I take out this code it works fine. I my error message related to ssd/regular harddrive

CLEAR VAR vdatafile
SET VAR vdatafile INTEGER = NULL
SET VAR vdatafile = (CHKFILE(.vbackdir1))
IF vdatafile <> 1 THEN
  MKDIR .vbackdir1
ENDIF
