Problem: Customer needs to set some file handler configuration options for a file which resides on a network server. In the application the file appears in the select assign to clause as: select test-file assign to \\compname\filefolder\testfile.dat How should this name be specifed within the extfh.cfg file in order for the name to be resolved correctly? Resolution: You can use a UNC name in an extfh.cfg file tag but you have to double the slashes in order for the file to be found. Example: to set a tag for the following: \\compname\filefolder\testfile.dat You would use: [ \\ \\compname\\filefolder\\testfile.dat ] alternatively, if you set the basename=on option in the xfh-default tag then you can just specify the file name without the full path: [XFH-DEFAULT] BASENAME=ON [testfile.dat]
