Re: READDIR -- MIDRANGE-L

Kevin, thank you ! I did not realize this and was stopping the debug
thinking it did not see the file. The program loops through and reads the
file on the third loop, but I had an error in the code I copied from an
older program I wrote, which was looking for a certain file name length
and since I am using a different file name that is shorter it was reading
the file, just not executing the the IF statement. When I was using debug
I thought it was not reading it based on the debug values above. I got it
now. Thanks everyone for being so helpful !

Thank you Justin, I am not getting an error. It is reading the
directory, but not seeing any files. That is why I thought

maybe its

some type of authority issue but all the files have *public *all

Subject: READDIR

I am using the below code to read an IFS directory. This same
code

works

on another Iseries without issue. There are two files in the
directory

but

the program is not reading them. I checked the authority on

the

directory

and the files and *Public has all authorities. Any ideas why

it may

not

see the files? Thanks

directory = opendir('/Directory1'); if (directory = *NULL);
// ERROR: unable to open directory!
endif;

p_dirent = readdir(directory);
dow (p_dirent <> *NULL);
filename = %subst(d_name:1:d_namelen);
