export ascii - default file target

[Richard D. Williams]

Also, check your PFSK variable.
It might not be "C:" if your on a windows network.
It might be shared drive letter.

(I put @ at the beginning of the menu command to force a pause)I did do what you suggest and still nothing is created, when I step it through debug, I see the export being executed, fields populated and "write" command is reached ...fn="c:\appl\fpmerge\jose.csv"export ascii exp = (fn) -xBesides, this process has been working just fine for years, it just decided to stop.Regards,On 4/11/24 17:36, Mike Schwartz via Filepro-list wrote:>      I always put an explicit full path in my export processing tables.

On the other hand, I don't know how the fpmerge subdir would have disappeared, unless somebody deliberately removed it.>> Mike Schwartz>>> -----Original Message-----> From: Filepro-list <filepro-list-bounces+mschw=athenet.net at aws-01.celestial.com> On Behalf Of Jose Lerebours via Filepro-list> Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2024 2:19 PM> To: filepro <filepro-list at aws-01.celestial.com>> Subject: export ascii - default file target>> Howdy!>>> RE: filePro  6.1.00.03D6 running on WIN 2022 Standard>>> A processing which dumps data to CSV using export ascii decided to stop working.>> Per documentation, if target file is not an absolute path, the target file is then created in %PFPROG%/fpmerge, in my case, this would be c:\appl\fpmerge.>> Couple of observations, fpmerge does not exist - What happens then?
