Steve - there is an unpublished routine that Peter gave me years ago that allows you to convert long file names to actual file names. It is as follows:
!=====================================================================!
! The following checks to see if there is a long file name that needs !
! to convert to the short file name so that comet can recognize. !
!=====================================================================!
!
DOSFILE$ = STRIP(PCNAME$) + "@00@"
TLEN$ = "@3E000000@"
AX$ = "@FFF2@"
DOSMS (AX$, PCNAME$, TLEN$, DOSFILE$) EXCP=PROCFILE
I just throw this into all my routines preceeding an import just to make sure that the file name is usable in COMET. If you have any questions, contact me directly. Marc
