I am currently having a problems with file logicals in the latest
release of Focus (v5.2.1). We have logicals for files assigned
at the logical name table level that aren't translating properly.
They worked under the last version of Focus.
"Directory" logicals work at the logical name table level.
"File" logicals work at the JOB and GROUP assignment levels.
For example :
LNM$PRODA table definitions are :
PROD_FILE = PROD_DATA:PROD001.FOC
PROD_DATA = PROD_DATA_ROOT:[DAT]
Use statement is :
USE PROD_FILE AS PRODCT
Results are :
PROD_DATA is correctly translated. PROD_FILE defaults
to my account as [STEVENS]PROD001.FOC.
If I move the logical assignment of PROD_FILE to the JOB or
GROUP DEFINE, the logical gets translated correctly.
I hope that I explained it clearly enough! Our system manager
has a call into the IBI/FOCUS hotline, but no answers yet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. You can send me mail
at KAHALA::STEVENS.

Check the expansion of your device name as expanded: Is prod_data_root
really large?
What I mean is that FOCUS has fixed length buffers for pathnames
and if you exceed the length you get results such as you describe.
