Specifying paths to IFS files

["Fenton, Tim" <Tim_Fenton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all

I have developed a Java Class on iSeries (AS400) which emails file(s) to
recipient(s) an the main() method is used to specify which file to attach. I
can specify any file I like in VisualAge with the usual DOS type paths
C:\dir\subdir\file.xls but on OS/400 it only works when the file is in the
same directory as the Class or in a subdirectory.

I specify the file as follows java -classpath x:y:z email.FileEmailer
recipient@acme.com /dir/subdir/file.xls

I am pretty sure the uppercase/lowercase is correct and anyway it picks up
the file if the file is in a subdirectory of the current directory

Anyone got any ideas?

Regards,
Tim Fenton
