Re: [U2] What is true

on universe (not sure of unidata), you can use FILEINFO() to see if something is a file variable: x= crt fileinfo(x,0) returns 0. Would return 1 for an open file. This originated in Prime Information and is available on UniVerse, UniData, PI/open, QM, and probably a few others. Martin
