Louie, You can read a file on the system with UniObjects directly.
I opened a file /tmp/MFG.DATA.IPS/MFG.DATA.IPS070808 by opening the MFG.DATA.IPS file record ID o;?MFG.DATA.IPS070808. /tmp/MFG.DATA.IPS has a VOC entry. 0001 DIR 0002 /tmp/MFG.DATA.IPS 0003 D_VOC In this case the file was read with the UniFile class. Each line is an attribute. There are sequential file classes as well. Please refer to the developers guide. http://www.elink.ibmlink.ibm.com/publications/servlet/pbi.wss?CTY=US&FNC=SRX&PBL=G251-2407-00# HTH On Tue, 2008-07-08 at 08:04 +0200, Louie Gouws wrote: > Hi Tony, > > It is a VB.Net application.
