Susan, just an FYI, UniVerse does have a "mkdbfile" binary in the $uvhome/bin directory. I execute this to create sub-files from within my basic programs. I created a VOC entry for the binary: @ID = MKDBFILE @RECORD = V:@FM:mkdbfile:@FM:E:@FM:VF:@FM:@FM:PICK.FORMAT then

I have been hoping that might make it to the "compatibility list". I didn't know you could do a UNIX command and get a uv-typed (perhaps hashed) file -- as Martin's suggestion. What I do is create it locally by EXECUTING CREATE.FILE, then EXECUTE a UNIX 'mv' to push it to the correct location and then write down the Fpointer.

To have files created into other directory like the current. Thanks for any suggestions.

No but the underlying operating system level program that does the CREATE.FILE can do this. /usr/uv/bin/mkdbfile pathname type modulo separation (with the appropriate path on the mkdbfile program) It is relatively easy to wrap a bit of Basic around this and build your own CREATE.PATH verb.
