Hello
It seems that the form WPSVMSGET has been changed since V2.3 to V2.4.
The OA$DIR has been changed to OA$DIR_PARSE so that the user has to
type "filename." in order to include "filename.". But with OA$DIR,
typing "filename" can include "filename.".
Is there any documentation on using the DSABs
OA$DIR, OA$DIR_PARSE and OA$DIR_SEARCH?
What is the purpose of having this change? One customer don't want the
change because he is a bit slack in typing one more "."!
Regards
Banquo

My researches show that this change was made during V2.3, rather than
V2.4, development, on 22-Aug-1988.... Not surprisingly, after all this
time, I can't find any detailed records of why this was done, and the
CMS history just baldly states "Use OA$DIR_SEARCH". I expect it was
done to work round one of the deficiencies in OA$DIR.
If your customer doesn't like it, you can always customise it back
again.
Graham
