Re: Verify IFS Path & File name string is valid

Do you mean "valid" in the general sense of "it's physically possible to create a path with this name" or do you mean "valid" in the sense of "my boss will allow us to utilize names like this" or do you mean "valid" in the sense of "points to a directory that already exists"?

Or what do you mean?

If you mean in the most general sense -- I don't think there's any possible character string that's not a valid path name.

An RPG program will be building an IFS path and file name string and
will pass it to another program to create the file. Is there an easy,
or any, way to verify that we have built a valid path and file name?

Thanks, Sam
