Cannot Find Symbol compiler message
<p>Hello all I'm a java newbie and I'm getting a compiler error message:</p>

<pre><code>src\LU62XnsCvr.java:33: cannot find symbol
symbol  : constructor File(java.lang.StringBuffer)
location: class java.io.File
   static File Rqst_File = new File(RqstFile_DSN) ;
                           ^
</code></pre>

<p>In my java program I have coded:</p>

<pre><code>   static StringBuffer RqstFile_DSN = new StringBuffer() ;
   static StringBuffer RespFile_DSN = new StringBuffer() ;

   static File Rqst_File = new File(RqstFile_DSN) ;
</code></pre>

<p>Any ideas as to why the compiler can't find the RqstFile_DSN "symbol" ? 
I'm assuming that the "symbol"  is the variable I've defined RqstFile_DSN </p>

<p>Thanks</p>
