if the file exists in a “superior” directory. Generally speaking, I’d
rather the application follow the example of how the operating system and
utilities work. If the file exists in a higher directory, VMS, et al, never
look in the lower directories.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<br>
Thanks for pointing out this QDESIGN versus QUIZ difference.<br>
Does this problem show up when you execute the GO command or<br>
does it show up when QDESIGN is trying to compile an USE file?<br>
<br>
My personal preference is to be informed when a directory does not exist.<br>
But I could see a lot of DCL scripts failing if Cognos changed QUIZ<br>
to work as QDESIGN works.<br>
<br>
Regards.<br>
