I usually: OPENPATH "directory of file" to temp_filedir else STOP "CAN NOT OPEN directory" READ FDATA FROM temp_filedir,"filename" ELSE STOP "CAN NOT READ filedir"
But creating a VOC file entry: 0001: F 0002: directory of file 0003: D_BP Also works. If you get errors opening the file (esp on unix), it is most like a unix user Permissions issue.

Hi back, Here's what I usually do. I create a file record in the voc pointing to that directory and give it D_BP as a dictionary. If that VOC record is named TEMP.FILE; I can then open it in a program and read TEMP.FILE1 as a record from that file. Then every flat file record is a field in your U2 record. Fixed length you have to count, space or other delimiter I use the FIELD within a FOR/NEXT.
