Thanks to everybody for their contributions. I'm all straightened out now.

Because on Line 71 you are using an ELSEIF. It was already TRUE on line 55,
so the ELSEIF, is by definition FALSE.

55 : IF FINFO ("HOUD1.PUB",0) THEN
56 *** EXPRESSION TRUE
57 : IF FINFO ("HOUD1.PUB","INTCREATED")=!HPYYYYMMDD THEN
58 *** EXPRESSION TRUE
59 : IF FINFO ("HOUD1.PUB",19) > 0 THEN
60 *** EXPRESSION FALSE: COMMANDS IGNORED UNTIL MATCHING ELSEIF/ELSE
61 /ENDIF
62 : PURGE HOUD2.PUB
63 : PURGE HOUD3.PUB
64 : COPY HOUD1.PUB,HOUD2.PUB
65 : RUN EDITOR.PUB.SYS<HOUDINI2.USERSTR2
66 : RUN FTP.ARPA.SYS<HOUDINI3.USERSTR2
67 : ENDIF
68 *** RESUME EXECUTION OF COMMANDS
69 : ENDIF
70 :
71 : ELSEIF FINFO ("HOUD1.PUB",0) THEN
72 *** COMMANDS IGNORED UNTIL MATCHING ENDIF
73 : IF FINFO ("HOUD1.PUB","INTCREATED")=!HPYYYYMMDD THEN
74 : IF FINFO ("HOUD1.PUB",19) = 0 THEN
75 : PURGE HOUD1.PUB
76 : BUILD HOUD1.PUB;REC=-80,,F,ASCII;DISC=5000
77 : ENDIF
78 : ENDIF
79 : ENDIF
80 *** RESUME EXECUTION OF COMMANDS
Why does "IF FINFO ("HOUD1.PUB",0) THEN" prove true on line 55 but false on
line 71? (the file does exist, by the way)
Thanks,
Michael
