Jeff, I think Openseq looks either for a fully specified path to the file as in : OPENSEQ "/tmp/recordname" TO F.MTR.ROW ELSE....
or it understands the filename, recordname construct but looks for the filename in the VOC, as in OPENSEQ TMPFIL, recordname to F.MTR.ROW ELSE... where TMPFIL is a DIR type VOC entry pointing to /tmp but it can't cope with your construct which is effectively OPENSEQ '/tmp', recordname.... hth Piers -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jeff Powell Sent: 04 January 2006 14:31 To: u2 users group Subject: [U2] openseq question Happy New Year. I am having trouble with the openseq function in UniData. We are operation in Pick mode. Openseq can't find the specified file at path,filename. Is there an assumed prefix? Here is the code frag that is failing. MTR.FILE.PATH='/tmp' OPENSEQ MTR.FILE.PATH, MTR.REC TO F.MTR.ROW.FILE ELSE EXECUTE '!touch ':MTR.FILE.PATH:"/":MTR.REC OPENSEQ MTR.FILE.PATH, MTR.REC TO F.MTR.ROW.FILE ELSE CALL SB.DISP(3,"TROUBLE OPENING ":MTR.FILE.PATH:"/":MTR.REC:" [E":STATUS():"]") GO PGM.EXIT END END Thanks, Jeff ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
