Re: IFS I-O Problems

Thanks.
I will try changing the \ to a / and see what happens.
The "root" is in case the root directory is not being shared.  I have found 
that in that case, you need the directory name "root" as the first directory in 
your path name.

In my experiences, I have found that while the OS/400 IFS commands are 
forgiving, and will accept a path like \folder\file.ext. The API's are 
not and require that the path be specified as /folder/file.ext.

Also, do you really have a folder named root? I would guess that the 
correct path is /ifsreports/JEFF/corbtch.xls
