RE: Verifying Existence of a File on a Server

I was afraid of that. There's no way I'm going to ask my overworked system administrator to ensure everybody that can use this function has an i.d. on the Windows server.
Ask your administrator for a single account on the Windows server -- one that has access to the files you need to check for. Create an iSeries profile with the same name and password as the Windows account. When you need to check existence, use the profile handle APIs to swap to that particular iSeries account, then check access, then swap back. This way all access to the Windows server is from that one particular ID.
