Seems like a lot of work to avoid using data queues :)
However, if you are going to monitor for the existance of a file to trigger an event, why don't you just look for an object, like a data area. You just have to use CHKOBJ.

Albert:

It's possible that I've lost track of the point to the thread. I had the impression that there was an earlier question about detecting the arrival of streamfiles in a directory.

I've kind of assumed that 'arrival' would mean something like a customer or trading partner or similar would FTP a file to some target directory like [/incoming], or perhaps that users would drag/drop files into a mapped drive, or some other networked process would add streamfiles at unpredictable intervals.

If I FTP a .PDF file to your FTP target directory, how will you know it has arrived and what will your CHKOBJ look like? If files are coming unpredictably, how will you know what to check for? What will be putting entries on a data queue?
