Hi,

I want to be able to write a set of Variables to a log file and then be able to read them in a different procedure that will be executed at a different time to the write.

So far I have got the below:

APP FI MASTER DISK bgl_error_trap.MAS
-RUN
-WRITE MASTER FILENAME=bgl_error_trap, SUFFIX=FOC
-WRITE MASTER SEGNAME=ONE, SEGTYPE=S1
-WRITE MASTER FIELDNAME=VAR ,ALIAS=VAR ,USAGE=A100 ,$
-WRITE MASTER FIELDNAME=PARAMNAME ,ALIAS=PARAMNAME ,USAGE=A100 ,$
-WRITE MASTER FIELDNAME=USERID ,ALIAS=USERID ,USAGE=A100 ,$
-WRITE MASTER FIELDNAME=DATE ,ALIAS=DATE ,USAGE=DMYY ,$
-*CREATE FILE bgl_error_trap
MODIFY FILE bgl_error_trap
FREEFORM VAR PARAMNAME USERID DATE
DATA
&VAR,&PARAM_NAME,&User,&Date,$
END

-RUN

This writes to a file and if I immediatly do a TABLE FILE
PRINT *
END
I can see the variables being appended to the file. GREAT!

However, if I attempt to run the same TABLE command from another procedure I get the following error:

(FOC205) THE DESCRIPTION CANNOT BE FOUND FOR FILE NAMED: BGL_ERROR_TRAP

Any suggestions? Can I use TABLE FILE or do I need to be looking at a different command?

Thanks

Mark,

Will this be for your user or all users ?

I think you should store the FOC file in one of the APP directories.
