The LONGNAMES command will update certain VOC records (CREATE.FILE, DELETE.FILE, CNAME, & CREATE.BFILE) so they will work with long file names properly. Certain fields are updated with the necessary data when that command is used that can be missed if modified manually. For the CREATE.FILE command it will add "LONGNAMES" to field 5 and change field 4 to either "V" or "FV" if the field previously had an "F" somewhere in it.
It appears to me that someone manually modified the record in the NEWACC,PICK file on your system instead of using the LONGNAMES command. The proper command to update the records in the NEWACC file would be "LONGNAMES ON NEWACC" - Josh -----Original Message----- From: owner-u2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:owner-u2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Doug Farmer Sent: Thursday, April 23, 2009 5:04 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] Question on UniVerse VOC record for CREATE.FILE I am mainly a UniData person, so UniVerse is a bit foreign to me. I am running UniVerse on a Windows Platform. Using the CREATE.FILE command, I created a file with a long name (15 characters) with my standard VOC pointer, and the VOC pointer in the UV\NEWAC,PICK file. Using the CREATE.FILE verb in my VOC, I am able to create the file correctly. Using the verb as it is on the NEWAC,PICK file, it truncates the file name. This, even though the LONGNAMES is on. See the examples at the end of the E mail. My VOC entry looks like >AE VOC CREATE.FILE Top of "CREATE.FILE" in "VOC", 6 lines, 40 characters. *--: L22 001: V 002: create.file 003: E 004: VF 005: LONGNAMES 006: PICK.FORMAT Bottom. *--: The NEWACC\PICK file verb looks like this (After I copy it to my VOC and set LONGNAMES) >AE VOC PICK-CREATE-FILE Top of "CREATE.FILE" in "VOC", 6 lines, 40 characters. *--: L22 001: V 002: create.file 003: E 004: FG 005: LONGNAMES 006: PICK.FORMAT Bottom. *--: The only difference is attribute 4 which has an FG instead of VF in it. I have no idea what FG vs VF is. You may wonder why I am asking? I have an old application that creates files specifically using the PICK version, no matter what the VOC version is. I don't know why, is there a difference? The only difference I know of is that LONGNAMES do not seem to work under the PICK version. Any ideas?
