SQR 2905 - Can't Open file 'OUT1' as 1. Permission Denied -Reply

[Mark Kraft <kraftm@GUNET.GEORGETOWN.EDU>]

you can do something like this:

   let $filename = 'Test.dat'
   let $file = C:\TEMP\'   || $filename
   open $file as {out} for-writing record=80 status = #stat_read

Try this, I have used it for a long time and always worked for me

We are using PeopleSoft 6.0 Financials on Windows NT,  IBM/DB2.
SQR version 3.
I have an SQR that utilizes the following statement:
OPEN $OUT1 AS 1 FOR-WRITING RECORD=138:FIXED

The report ran fine for weeks, then one day they changed the
permissions
to one of our LAN directors, L:.   The problem is that this OUT1 file is
saved
on the L:\FS600\BIN directory, and now that I do not have access to
write
to this directory, the SQR bombs.

This isn't an issue when run on the mainframe, but when run on the
client
I get the Can't Open File error.  Is there a way within PeopleSoft to
change
the default directory from L: to the C: drive, where it probably should
have
been from the beginning?  I would have thought this setting could be
made
in Config Manager, but I only see one reference to L:\FS600\BIN there,
and
I can't change that because that is for PeopleTools executables.
