RE: Retrieving unknown file name

["Bob Cozzi" <cozzi@xxxxxxxxx>]

One way is the do a DSPOBJD to an out file and specify P21* as the object
name and *FILE as the object type. Then read the output file into an RPG
program and look for the file name (perhaps the latest file name would be
the best choice for your situation).

Subject: Retrieving unknown file name


List,
    We have a need to find the name of a file and copy it to a PF as a new
member. A company will be sending us a file that will get FTPed to QGPL as
P21nnnnnnn, where nnnnnnn is the number of seconds since 01/01/1970.
    How can we determine the name of the file? I checked the forum but
CHKOBJ was as close as I found. Can I check for the existance of P21*?

    TIA,
