Re: Access() issue

Hello All,

It's Friday and I am brain dead. I am sure I am overlooking something but I
do not see it at this point and would appreciate a second set of eyes. My goal
is to test the IFS for file existence and increment the file name if a file
exists in a directory. In this scenario, I know the file exists in the IFS and
I have full rights to the file but the program returns a not found value. Below
is the relevant code in question. I am testing the program with the following
call statement:
call MYPRGM300 parm('/home/gd290jem/PlmExtract.Dat').

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
