tell me this aint true ....
OE 11, windows 7
trying to use bulkload , with the following .fd file snippet
# Database: mydb
paf_Address C:\rawaddress\Y11M09\PAF MAIN FILE\paf_Address.d C:\OpenEdge\WRK\paf_Address.e
this fails with the error
Data input file "C:\rawaddress\Y11M09\PAF" could not be opened. (1505)
Bulk load aborted near "C:\rawaddress\Y11M09\PAF" because of errors. (1507)
so, looks like the bulkload cannot deal with spaces in the .fd pathname.
and no, wrapping quotes round the filenames does nothing.
So, I have to cd to the directory where the .d file is, modify the .fd to specify ./paf_address.d .
Seriously. This is 2012. Understand that pathnames can have spaces in them. How long has "c:\program files" been present in windows ? Windows 95 ? 17 YEARS AGO ! AAAARRRGGGHHH
what a PITA
* jmls is somewhat frustrated with this ..
Hello,
A possible way to handle the spaces in a path reference is to specify a short name using ~.
For example, your path could be "C:\rawaddress\Y11M09\PAFMAI~1\paf_Address.d".
This should work fine with NTFS, however, it will not work with the ReFS (Resilient File System) in Windows Server 8.
What is bulkload?
