Erich,

it's now clear to me (as a silly RPG programmer). Many thanks, also to
Michael.

Kind regards,
Werner Noll

Hi Werner,

one completition:

The DOS command DIR /X shows you the long names together with the 8.3 name.

Subject: Pathnames in STRPCCMD command


Hi All,

I found somewhere examples of valid pathnames for calling PC programs by
STRPCCMD.
Example for calling EXCEL:
'C:\Progra~1\micros~1\office\excel.exe'.
Such pathnames may differ from one the the other PC environment.
My question: Where can I find explanations on the syntax of this shortened
pathnames? E.g. what does ~1 stand for?

Many thanks in advance.
