I want this to go where err= is pointing to, but it doesn't cause an error. Isn't it supposed to? How can I check for a non-existant record in a direct file? -- \\\!/// Peter Schmitt _ _ UUCP: decwrl!tsc.dnet!pete ( Q Q ) .or. att!tsc!pete ---,,,,-------U-------,,,,--- ARPA: pete%tsc.dec.com@decwrl.dec.com
