Hi All

Need: I need to know whether a file is exist in a specific dir. If exist i need to create a .ok file.

Is there is any way to do or Can try to open the file like below and if the below command is suceed, then i can create a .ok file.

SeqFiles = File Path
OpenSeq SeqFiles: aFileName TO Jname


Please guide me.

Thanks

The OpenSeq statement will take its Else clause if the file does not exist.

Note that the file will be open for writing and locked - you will still need a CloseSeq statement once you have performed your test.

You could also call DSExecute to execute a UNIX test -f pathname command (yes, even though you're running on Windows).

Thanks Ray

I will close the file. But is it the only way to find the file? Any other command is there to check?

Yes, and I included it in my response.

A Sequence job with the Wait For File stage could do a simple existence check and (if found) trigger a job / routine / whatever to create your 'ok' file.
