FILE()
FILE() verifies the existence of a specified filename and returns a
logical True (.T.) if the file exists.
Syntax
FILE(<exp C>)
Usage
FILE() requires that the character expression input include both the
filename and the file extension. If the file resides on a different
drive or directory than the default, you must either set a path using
the SET PATH command or the drive and directory must be specified as
part of the filename. FILE() is not case-sensitive; any combination of
upper or lower case letters in the filename is accepted. Be aware that
the DOS path is not searched.
FILE() is useful in identifying a duplicate filename before information
is stored to a file or for determining whether a needed file is
available.
