[RBASE-L] - Re: CHKFILE

Razzak,

Thanks but same results. There is a directory called BACKUP but not in the 
current directory.
It's like maybe there is something in the path that makes the CHKFILE look 
globally.

Jan,

Here's the correct technique to verify and then create a
folder, if necessary.

Example 01:

-- start here ...
SET VAR vChkFile INTEGER = NULL
SET VAR vChkFile = (CHKFILE('PDF'))
IF vChkFile <> 1 THEN
    MD PDF
ENDIF
-- end here ...

Change the code as you see fit, including the correct use
of quotes, in your case.

Very Best R:egards,

Razzak.
