351.0. "-WRITE" by PENUTS::CORBETT () Tue Jul 17 1990 14:53

    I had a small .FEX that wrote to an RMS file, which does not work any
    longer.
    
    The program does:
    
    FILEDEF STAT_FIL DISK STAT_FIL.DAT APPEND
    USE STAT_FIL.DAT AS STAT_FIL
    -WRITE STAT_FIL "SUCCESS"
    -END
    END
    
    This did work before.  We are running VMS 5.3 and IBI/FOCUS V5.2.1.
    
    Any assistance with this will be appreciated.

351.1YOU NEED -RUNPLOP::COYLETue Jul 17 1990 16:1710

    You need a -RUN statement after the filedef so that the file is defined.
Previously, you may have had the FILDEF in a profile.fex or had defined it
interactively before running the .FEX.  Also I don't think you need the
USE command.
