Specifying file and directory names

&pagelevel(3)&pagelevel

Many openFT-Script statements use file or directory names. These are specified in the attributes name, bs2000Name, unixName, windowsName and zosName. If no special characteristics are defined then the following definition applies.

If a partner is specified then its operating system must also be explicitly specified. openFT-Script itself determines the operating system of the local computer.

Rules for file name and directory name attributes

  • An operating system-specific file name or directory name attribute (bs2000Name, unixName, windowsName oder zosName) is only evaluated, if it does not contain an empty string and if the specified or determined operating system has this type.

  • If no matching operating system-specific file name attribute is found or it is specified as an empty string then the non-operating system-specific file name attribute name applies. Please note that the default value for name is the empty string.

  • If you use a profile in which a file name or a directory name is defined as the transfer admission (see the manual "openFT (Unix and Windows systems) - Command Interface"), then the easiest way is to omit all file name or directory name attributes. This way the empty string is used (= default value of the non-operating system-specific attribute, see above).

    Alternative: Enter an empty string for all relevant operating system-specific file name or directory name attributes. You can then omit the non-operating system-specific attribute or specify it as an empty string.
