"D:\..."? Sounds like Windows. FWIW in Universe, (HP/UX) I'd do:
open '','INBOUND.EDI' to F.INBOUND else...
loop
readv dummy from F.INBOUND, "EDI.TXT", 0 then exists = 1 else exists = 0
if exists then...
sleep 30
repeat
(assuming you have defined INBOUND.EDI in the VOC pointing to
"D:\Roi\PLACON.MAIN\INBOUND.EDI")
Or,
loop
cmd = "sh -c 'find D:\Roi\PLACON.MAIN\INBOUND.EDI\ -name EDI.TXT -print |
wc | awk '{ print $1 }'"
execute cmd capturing tmp
if tmp then...
sleep 30
repeat
