<
<exists?> identifies the field to return if the file exists or not. Passing this parameter is required.
>
>
<exists?> is the result, indicating if file exists or not (Required). This must be PASSed with Share "Y". Returns Y if the file exists, N if not.
 
Changed:
<
<
<pathname> identifies the field that identifies the pathname to test. Passing this parameter is required.

Notes:

The subroutine tries to open the file for Read access, and if it cannot, it returns a "N". It cannot distinguish between a file that does not exist and a file it cannot open due to file permissions, both cases will return "N".
