Subject: Error in EXTFILE


Dear All,

I am trying to make a simple program out of EXTFILE and EXTMBR concept.
However, my system never identifies the file and gives me "The name or
indicator is not defined." Errors. I have setup the library list correctly
which contains the PF.

Program:
FFILE      IF   E             DISK    EXTFILE('NAME')
F                                     EXTMBR('NAME')
F                                     USROPN
C                   OPEN      FILE
C                   READ      REC
C     FIRSTNAME     DSPLY
C                   CLOSE     FILE
C                   SETON                                        LR

PF: NAME
R REC
  FIRSTNAME     10A

Any idea where am I going wrong here ?

Regards and Thanks
Manish
