RE: IFS folder listing

["Rick Connor" <rconnor@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The program returns a directory listing. The directory listing contains
. and .. because those are in the directory. 

If you don't need them simply ignore them.

C                   Dow       p_entry <> *NULL                          
C                   Eval      wFileName =                               
C                             %subst(wdEntry.d_name:1:wdEntry.d_nameLen)
                                                                        
 * Don't include directory values                                       
C                   If        wFileName <> '.' and                      
C                             wFileName <> '..'                         
C                   Endif                                               

C                   Eval      p_entry = readdir(dirh)                   
C                   Enddo
