Re: Specifying path for report creation w/o using drive letter



Title: RE: Specifying path for report creation w/o using drive letter

Assuming Ent1 is your volume name, just prepend '\\' like this:

     NEW-REPORT '\\Ent1\Data1\IS\myfolder\report.lis'

     Hi all,

     We have an sqr that creates report files using the 'NEW-REPORT'
     command. We need to specify the path of the network directory, but do
     not want to use the drive letter since different users may have it
     mapped to different drives. For example, if my Windows explorer shows

     IS on 'Ent1\Data1' (O:)

     how would I specify a folder on the O: drive without hard-coding the
     drive letter in the sqr? I tried to use

     NEW-REPORT 'Ent1\Data1\IS\myfolder\report.lis'

     but sqr was unable to find the directory. When I use
     NEW-REPORT 'O:\myfolder\report.lis', it works fine.

     Any input will be appreciated.
