old question : same problem

[Etienne Rompré]

Hi to all!

It might be related to Powerhouse or not but I give it a shot!
Tools availables
PH 8.4 VMS
Cobol on VMS
OpenVms 7.3
RMS file
flat Text file

The problem:
A client send one or more text file via ftp. 
The name will always be different. 
I can't process the file 2 time.
The FTP process can't rename the file to NATWRRN.TXT since there might 
be 2 files at the same time.

Question:
Is there a way in powerhouse or in VMS to know automaticaly when a file 
is written in a directory and be able to process that file by name?  Or 
start a COM that could rename the file automaticaly when the file is 
written and then start a QTP to import the file with a fixed name?

Thanks!
