Jargon - how to check if file exists

[Vasek]

I need to verify that the file exists. If it exists, I need more information - size, creation date, etc.

What jargon feature should I use?

Thank you for the advice.

Hi Vasej,

If the file (data object) does not exist, an exception is thrown.
You could, for example, use "DataObjectAO" and "CollectionAO".

Cheers,
Arya
