Trap the writing of a file in a directory in Powerhouse

[Ken Langendock]

I believe at one time there was something called a Mailbox that
Powerhouse was able to read. Other than that you are looking at an
outside application, I used to run a version of Cron on the VAX VMS
machine a while back, that worked perfectly and simulated the UNIX
environment. You can also get Cron for the Windows now (free).

Hi,

Powerhouse 8.4
Openvms

He is the scenario,

A external system will send a file via FTP with a different name every
15
min or more.  I need to read this file and process it in our
application.

I know I can use a dec library to determine if a file is written in a
directory and then run the program but I was wondering if Powerhouse had
something like that internally.

Thanks!
