Re: Validate Directory Name in IFS

FWIW.. the best API is access(). My tutorial (the one that Rob pointed you to) should explain how to use it. Make sure the user has X_OK access to it if you want to verify that the user will be able to use that directory (and not just that it exists).

Using RPGLE and the API's, what is the best method to verify the existance of a directory name?
I have an application that will allow the user to specify the path name and file name for a file that I will procsss in my program.
I would like to be able to differentiate between the file not found and directory not found.
