If you have the current 'path' then ".." is always the path before...
So if you are sitting in c:\IBM\ACCOUNTS\TESTIT And the path in the VOC is to ..\..\bin You can 'peel back' on each ".." to the layer before: So ..\..\bin would turn C:\IBM\ACCOUNTS\TESTIT into C:\IBM\bin You would count the number of ".."s and chop that number of segments off the end of the current path... Two ".."s peel off 2 segments. Then stick whatever is after the ".."s on the end... As for the @UDTHOME and the like - you'd want to do a 'swap' to get those to work. And I'd likely 'fix' the path \ or / to be whichever you'd rather work with since they behave the same in UniData...
