There appears to be a problem with the CABINET NEXT_FOLDER function in a case where there are several folders of increasing lengths which have similar begining names: FOO-BAR FOO_BAR 1 FOO_BAR 11 FOO-BAR 111 GOOD-BAR GET #DOC-SYM="FOO-BAR" CABUNET NEXT_FOLDER #DOC-SYM,#NEW-DOC-SYM After execution: #DOC-SYM = "GOOD-BAR" #NEW-DOC-SYM = "GOOD-BAR" There is a STARS article which describes this problem and suggestes always tacking the :30 symbol qualifier onto the DOC-SYM sysmbol. GET #DOC-SYM="FOO-BAR" CABUNET NEXT_FOLDER #DOC-SYM:30,#NEW-DOC-SYM However, I have still found that there is an inconsistancy. After the function has been executed in this manner: #DOC-SYM = "FOO-BAR" #NEW-DOC-SYM = "GOOD-BAR" According to the documentation, both the #DOC-SYM and #NEW-DOC-SYM symbols should contain the same content AFTER the execution of the function. This happens ONLY if the #DOC-SYM symbol does NOT have a length qualifier tacked on. Could someone please clarify this issue. Thanks, Cb.

Hi,
This NEXT_FOLDER problem is fixed in V3.0. If you are stuck with V2.4
then you will have to redo the example slightly - in effect you cannot
do the equivalent of get #x:30 = #y, i.e. you will have to get #x=#y
yourself.
Cheers
Stuart
