For reasons that I cannot figure, the exists function in this routine always returns 0. Can anyone tell me why? address command 'requestfile >ram:rq' if RC > 0 then do say "No file selected" exit end if ~open(1list,'ram:rq','r') then exit RESULT = readln(1list) parse var RESULT lead '.' num'.' trail do i=1 to 9999 fn= lead'.'i'.'trail say i fn exists(fn) if ~exists(fn) then leave 'rename >nil: ' fn 'as' lead'.'right('000'i,4)'.'trail end ANy help would be appreciated. -ash
