Jeff, You have set up MFG.DATA.IPS.TMP as a VOC pointer, but if you reference it in BASIC without quotes, the compiler thinks it is an unassigned variable. So, step one, wrap the name of your VOC pointer in quotes. However, you've said you want to use VOC pointers instead of paths, so instead of appending a "/" and the record name, you want to OPENSEQ the VOC name "," the record name. So, step two, use the VOC,record syntax, not the path syntax: OPENSEQ MFG.DATA.IPS.TMP,MTR.REC TO MTR.REC.VBLE ELSE * remember in UniData, OPENSEQ creates automatically WEOFSEQ MTR.REC.VBLE END Other points: 1) It really isn't a great idea to go creating application specific subdirectories in /tmp. Fill /tmp up with junk and the system will crash sooner or later. 2) If you need the path of an opened file variable use FILEINFO().
