Hi,
There is a quicker way to do this.
? TES:JOB_NUM = records(data)???? ! find the number of records in a file
? tes:job_num = test:job_num + 1???? !? add one
? update()?????????????????????????????????????? ! update file
? put(test)?????????????????????????????????????? ! put into file
? if error() then???????????????????????????????? ! check for any errors
??? message(error())
? end
Hope this helps
