Scott,
You can use finfo with a option 61 which is the number of assessors of the
file.
!WHILE FINFO("CHARGES.CHARGES",61) > 0
! PAUSE 60
!ENDWHILE
or you can combine your while into one test like:
!WHILE "![FINFO("CHARGES.CHARGES",-6)] > HPYYYYMMDD or
FINFO("CHARGES.CHARGES",61) > 0
! PAUSE 600
!ENDWHILE
Hope this helps,
Paul Scott

Subject: [HP3000-L] Checking File date and if file being written
I need to check if a file was created today and if the file is being written
to or not in a job
It will be run on the day the file is created, but the creation of the file
takes a long time, 4 or 5 hours (sometimes more)
It seems the DATE part this SHOULD go something like
!SETVAR FDATE;FINFO("CHARGES.CHARGES",-6)
!WHILE "!FDATE" > HPYYYYMMDD
! PAUSE 600
! SETVAR FDATE;FINFO("CHARGES.CHARGES",-6)
!ENDWHILE
But what I can't figure out is how to tell if the job that writes the file
is finished writing it.
Thanks in advance.
