I have just discovered a difference in the way R:Base 6.5++ (latest version) handles long file names in Win2000 vs. WinNT 4.0.
If I enter the commands in Win2000: OUTPUT REJECTIONDATA.DAT (13.3 file name) -- UNLOAD DATA FOR transfer AS ASCII -- OUTPUT SCREEN and then do a DIR command at the R> I get REJECTION 1101562 2-22-02 10:24a REJECTIONDATA.DAT Note that there is no tilde (~) in the first column of the directory output as there used to be -- indicating a long file name. I cannot manipulate the file name or delete the file at the R>. I have to do it through Explorer. However, if I enter the commands in WinNT 4.0: OUTPUT REJECTIONDATA.DAT (13.3 file name) -- UNLOAD DATA FOR transfer AS ASCII -- OUTPUT SCREEN and then do a DIR command at the R> I get REJECT~1.DAT 1101562 2-22-02 10:24a REJECTIONDATA.DAT This is the correct output. I can manipulate this file as far as renaming it or deleting it. Has anyone else seen this behavior running R:Base under Win2000? Is there a workaround or is there some environment setting either in R:Base or Win2000 that will effect this behavior? Any help is appreciated.
