Create-file question

[Marc]

I'm trying to EXECUTE a CREATE-FILE command  as shown below and I'm obviously screwing up the punctuation...

FILENAME = VNAME:".PRICE"

OPEN ''",FILENAME TO F.OUT ELSE
         EXECUTE \CREATE-FILE DATA "\:FILENAME:\"\ 11\

OR

EXECUTE \CREATE-FILE DATA "\:FILENAME:\" 11\

What am I doing wrong??

Thanks!

Get rid of the " around the \FILENAME \

Marc,

Your create statement assumes that there is already a dictionary section.  Are you wanting to create a new data section underneath and existing file or a new file with both dictionary and data sections.  Also, I agree with Peter.  Get rid of the double-quotes.  If the latter then try:

EXECUTE \CREATE-FILE DATA \:FILENAME:\1 11\

Just a thought. I don’t know if this is a new application or not, but if it is, have you considered Multi-part files?

[Marc Zitcer]

Thank you all for the responses.  It was the "extra" quotes that caused the problem!  I will look into the multi-part file possibility.

Appreciate the prompt responses.
