Re: CHKOBJ for an IFS file

["Peter Dow" <pcdow@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ken,

Try the access() UNIX-type API. It will let you check forthe existence of
the file and (if required) whether you have specific authorities to that
file. You pass it a null-terminated string with the path & filename as one
parameter, and an integer that tells it what you want to test for. For
documentation, try:
