Hi,
I'm converting some old code (from Salford compiler). I want my programto make new directories. My old salford code looks like this:
CALL MKDIR@(DIRECTORY,ERROR_CODE)
This does not work in IVF. I'm trying to use SYSTEM and SYSTEMQQ. When the code executes, cmd starts with the correct directory but then defaults to my windows directory. I get the following message:
'\\SHARED_NETWORK_DRIVE\SOME_FOLDER\SOME SUB FOLDER'
CMD.EXE started with the above path as the current directory.
UNC paths are not supported. Defaulting to Windows directory.
The default directory is C:\Windows, don't want to create directories here.
I have beentrying to use GetCWD in combination with NET USE commands to map a drive letter and make directories where I want them - but then I run into problems with folders being longer than 8 characters and having to use tildas~.
This worked fine using Salford - never got defaulted to my C drive. Is there some compiler setting I need so that UNC paths are supported and I can create directories from where my program is called? Maybe there is an easier way that I'm not aware of?
Thanks,
Ernie P.
