I do not see the difference between your two open statements. I do not see the open statement that shows the successful opening of the file when it was in the OpenVistA folder. Anyway, your original problem is improper path (or directory) syntax. The path must include all trailing punctuation

There is one issue I have with the WorldVistA VistA codebase. I mentioned this at Boston. But it needs to be brought up in this larger context. 1. Who has access to this code base to make any supposed modifications to it? 2. What relationship will all these scripts have to the official codebase?

You may have to edit the %ZOSV routine. What you edit depends upon which version of Cache you are running. In any case, you may trick the Kernel into believing you have enough licenses. But you may eventually encounter another message which is generated by Cache with some comment about job

Re: [Hardhats-members] Configurability of fields in FileMan

You are looking at old code. There was a feature of Fileman years ago which has subsequently been addressed. You could not create a multiple field entry if the zeroth node of the multiple did not exist. So we were forced to hard set the zeroth node of the multiple prior to calling the Fileman

There may not be such a need. I would have to check to verify this. But I believe that ^DIC may check for the archive flag and filter out those records automatically. I have not actually looked at all of this routine to see if that indeed is what it is doing. But on the surface, it appears to

I would not call this a bug. I suspect that Fileman is doing everything properly. However, because of the Output Transform on field 1302, this causes Fileman to fail to find the matches. By putting an output transform on a pointer field you are asking FM to lookup a .01 field value in the

There is nothing wrong with either DSM nor Cache. Both are strictly within the ANSI standard M. They both respond with exactly the same results. DSM executes the line and thus the variable is UNDEF after executing the line of code as it should. Cache does so also. On my system, it shows me
