I am trying to set a Boolean flag if a file exists so I can control a branch (found/ not found). I can do it in various languages but I am not able to do it in Process Flow.

Does anybody know how?

if you have LSF9 ProcessFlow Integrator there is a FileAccess node that has that as an option.
Thanks for using the LawsonGuru.com forums!

variables are defined in the Start node. There is a type of boolean that has a value of true or false.

You can either check for the value or reference the field

 

ie if you have a variable called chkflg you can do either

if (chkflg)

or

if (chkflg == true)

In a branch node it would simply be the following in the statement line
chkflg
or
chkflg == true

An error code of 8 from the FileAccess node is not found.

If you call the FileAccess FileTest then the variable is called FileTest_errorCode

so your branch if not found would be:

FileTest_errorCode == 8

Great! That should do the job. I will check it out.

Thank you
