BB:
no... this is a flat file... no key... and the description of the dish programming is nearly the last field...
also... this program is so old that it reads and parses the file character by character.... today, we could use FILE(LUN)CSV.... with a delimiter = "~"
Before all this happens... there's an ACCESS to get to the path, and then a CREATE with the PATH and FILE to get access to the file to INQUIRE
As I said... before this B@SICO problem, this same program worked for months like clockwork. I'm still dogged by the fact that something happens on the first read for something that won't be encountered until later... very spooky....
Thanx
