Hi
We are currently running FOCUS 5.2.1
I have found that when I call up Tabletalk every master file
description in the IBI$FOCUS directory as well as those in my default
directory are listed.
Is there any way to keep tabletalk from looking into the IBI$FOCUS
directory?
Is there any strange reason why this is happening? Some logical
that I can over-ride?
Note: I have not set default to IBI$FOCUS or set any pointers to
look in that area for .MAS files.
Thank You for any help you can provide.

| 213.1 | Define FOC$DIR1 logical | NRMLZE::ESTES | Mon May 22 1989 12:12 | 9 | |
I believe that Tabletalk looks at the logical FOC$DIR1 for the
masters that you can see. Focus follows an internal list of
logicals FOC$DIR1, FOC$DIR2, FOC$DIR3, FOC$DIR4 and finally
IBI$FOCUS to resolve requests for tables.
We define FOC$DIR1 to the users login directory to isolate the
masters that s/he should see.

| 213.2 | same problem...too many masters | JOSIE::JCURLEY | Wed May 24 1989 18:23 | 30 | |
I'm having the same problem. I'm also running FOCUS VX5.2.1.
I tried the following assignment statments and still got the same
results as .0
$ assign/job disk:[directory] foc$dir1
$ assign/job disk:[directory] foc$dir2
$ assign/job disk:[directory] foc$dir3
$ assign/job disk:[directory] foc$dir4
TABLETALK still lists all of the masters in IBI$FOCUS.
On the off-chance that the logicals needed to be in the process
table I tried the following:
$ assign disk:[directory] foc$dir1
$ assign disk:[directory] foc$dir2
$ assign disk:[directory] foc$dir3
$ assign disk:[directory] foc$dir4
Still no luck.
Any suggestions ?

| 213.3 | Move the .MAS files | ILO::MCKNIGHT | We were the last romantics | Thu May 25 1989 08:46 | 11 |
Hello Joanne, One way to get around this, is to just create a new directory and copy all the .MAS files to IB$FOCUS directory. You can reference this directory when you need to using FOC$DIR1 etc. You cannot stop FOCUS looking in IBI$FOCUS - it's part of it's search list. Rgds Michael | |||||
