Hi,

I am using IBM's RAD as my IDE. In my servlet, I have coded:

// set the filename for the server side repository ...
serverFileName = "/web/UserSource/" + user + "-" + shortFileName;

// Open up the output file on server ...
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(serverFileName);
Writer outf = new OutputStreamWriter(fos,"Cp1047");

The above logic is inside an "if" construct, as I only can set the file
name after some information is retrieved.

Afterwards, outside of this "if", I try to write to the file like so,
(another "if"):

if (cnt > 4 && !prevLine.equals(boundary)) {
    outf.write(prevLine);
    out.println("<br>" + prevLine);
}

The outf.write(prevLine) statement is flagged as "outf cannot be resolved"

why, since I have previously defined it?  How do I correct this error?

Thanks,

Larry
