Flag if file still exists?

Hi All,

Is there a flag in the governance dashboard to say if a file still exists?

I'm adding some code to bring in our CAL data and want to add a section for ghosted CALs i.e. those attached to qvws which no longer exist.

I think it would be pretty easy to tag this on the end in a user script but just didn't want to re-invent the wheel if it is actually in there somewhere and I am missing it!

If anyone is interested I just used this

FileListCheckPreloader:
LOAD FileName as FileNameCheck
RESIDENT FileList;

LET CKNumRows=NoOfRows('FileListCheckPreloader');
FOR p=1 to $(CKNumRows)
  LET vFileChecker=Peek('FileNameCheck',$(p),'FileListCheckPreloader'); 
  Let baseFileSizeCheck = IF(LEN(FileSize('$(vFileChecker)'))<1,0,1);
  TRACE Checking: $(vFileChecker);
  check:
  LOAD
  '$(vFileChecker)' as FileName,
  $(baseFileSizeCheck)  as FileExistsFlag
  AUTOGENERATE 1;
NEXT p;
