Is there anyway around this problem? Will it vanish with some future FOCUS
release?
The following is extracted from an A1 mail message:
Here are my suggestions for new filenames.........others can
be used, but try to limit the filename to a max of 8 characters.
As I said, the long names create problems with the IBI FOCUS
software in the AIC. We have to change these names to a shorter
name before we can use them.
Current Name Proposed Name

Do a SET FILE/ENTER=8_char_name old_file_name Then you can have both names and use the 8 char name in FOCUS and use the larger names in other layered products. IBI said that this will be fixed in 5.7 (the next release) of FOCUS. Steve | |||||
