Les, As far as I know - if your setting is alright SHORTNAME OFF - you will get long filename using DIR
It is possible to put the result of your dir command into a file and have it loaded into a table. The output of the DIR command is date time size and the last column is the filename. So you are able to select the filename from the file you have created and put it into a table. Another possibility is using the command LoadFileNamePlus.rbl. In that case the user has to select (a couple of) filename(s) which then can be loaded. Look into the help of Rbase.

I am loading a group of files into a table so that I can then load each file using gateway. -- --- RBASE-L ================================================ TO POST A MESSAGE TO ALL MEMBERS: Send a plain text email to [email protected] (Don't use any of these words as your Subject: INTRO, SUBSCRIBE, UNSUBSCRIBE, SEARCH, REMOVE, SUSPEND, RESUME, DIGEST, RESEND, HELP) ================================================ TO SEE MESSAGE POSTING GUIDELINES: Send a plain text email to [email protected] In the message SUBJECT, put just one word: INTRO ================================================ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Send a plain text email to [email protected] In the message SUBJECT, put just one word: UNSUBSCRIBE ================================================ TO SEARCH ARCHIVES: Send a plain text email to [email protected] In the message SUBJECT, put just one word: SEARCH-n (where n is the number of days).
