In Classic REXX, the statement
myFileName = stream( "A:\test", "c"', "QUERY EXISTS" )
only returns an empty string if the drive A: is not ready. In Object-Oriented
REXX this statement pops up this nice little OS/2 error box saying that
the drive is not ready.
[Tested with OBJREXX 6.00 12 Jul 1996]
[Fixed in OBJREXX 6.00 26 Feb 1997 and newer versions (included in WARP
4 Fixpack #6)]
To avoid this, you need to put the AUTOFAIL (CONFIG.SYS statements used by OS/2) statement in your CONFIG.SYS file.
