I thought I had figured this out yesterday. The CL below worked yesterday (honestly), but this morning when re-testing nothing happens. Under debug I can see that the variable gets set properly. I have double-checked that the file exists with the same case as in the CL. The CL is intended to be called from within an RPG IV program, but even as a stand-alone call it is not working. The S:\ drive, by the way, is the shared drive on our Windows (2003, I think) file server. I have tried replacing it with the IP address, but same results - nada. I even tried creating and using a standard DOS (8.3) file name - zilch. Any clues?
