Re: List of objects in the IFS

I've used this example, and it works fine on one machine.
Now i've used it on another machine, and i get an huge length back,
something like 3245001546. This happens with every object in the IFS.
The objects in the IFS of this machine do not use DOS rules for naming.
Any ideas?
