| Dear Developers,
In addition to what I wrote below I realized that the behavior is different depending on if the volume is a system volume (as in the case below) or another volume (separate disk or mounted volume on a NAS on the network). In the first case the behavior is as below, in the second case the behavior is as I expected it to be, i.e. sysFileTree produces the complete path, including the volume, just as on Win.
Can someone please have a look?

Dear Developers,
I wanted to move (a large number of) files between two volumes on the Mac but stumbled on something I did not expect. Here a short example code
SourceDir = '/volumes/SSD/users/po/data/oorexxsvn' --SourceDir = 'C:\Users\PO\Tracing‘ /* Win */
say 'SourceDir' SourceDir
res = SysFileTree(SourceDir,"dir","DO")
DO j=1 TO dir.0 say 'dir.'j dir.j END j
The output on Mac is
SourceDir /volumes/SSD/users/po/data/oorexxsvn dir.1 /Users/po/Data/oorexxsvn/main
i.e. the SysFileTree is not providing the entire path (the fully-qualified file name) as the documentation states
I tried it on a Win 10 machine and there the response includes the volume (the „drive letter“)
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.16299.192]
SourceDir C:\Users\PO\Tracing dir.1 C:\Users\PO\Tracing\WPPMedia
I have not been able to compare to older versions of ooRexx on Mac (for known reasons), is this behavior intentional? And if so, how do I find out the complete path on Mac?
The version of ooRexx is the same on both systems
Mac POs-12Core-Pro:~ po$ rexx -v Open Object Rexx Version 5.0.0 Build date: Oct 22 2017 Addressing mode: 64
Win C:\Users\PO\Downloads>rexx -v Open Object Rexx Version 5.0.0 Build date: Oct 22 2017 Addressing mode: 64
