Re: [U2] use of SETFILE
Trevor, you might want to look at the OFS/NFA manual. I don't have the 7.1 manuals handy, but here is a link to the 7.3 manual for it: http://www.rocketsoftware.com/u2/products/unidata/resources/manuals/unidata-7.3-documentation/developing-ofs-nfa-applications/view I know for sure it is in 7.2, not certain on 7.1 Regards, Dan McGrath Product Manager Rocket Software 4600 S.

I can access \\129.129.1.10\Pickup via Windows, but I cannot SETFILE to it Is there something which needs licensing or is there a "Gotcha" I'm falling foul of. Thanks, Trevor.

If you mean this location exists off the server, I'm not sure you can point at it, at all from Unidata. -Original Message- From: Bill Haskett To: U2 Users List Sent: Fri, Sep 21, 2012 9:25 am Subject: Re: [U2] use of SETFILE Trevor: I think you have to use the "editor" to create what you want.
