Filename tag

Settings that apply to a specific file are listed under the specific filename tag; for example:

[file1.dat]
IDXFORMAT=17
[file2.dat]
IDXFORMAT=21

sets file1.dat to IDXFORMAT 17 and file2.dat to IDXFORMAT 21.

Comments:

To enable the use of filenames (without a pathname), set BASENAME=ON in the [XFH-DEFAULT] section.

When you use the filename tag, the path to the current directory is assumed, and if a FOLDER tag exists for any folder along the path, settings for that tag are applied. For example, if you have the following file assignment:

SELECT myFile ASSIGN TO 'file1.dat'

and your application is run in the directory c:\files\mffiles (Windows) orusr/files/mffiles (UNIX), then if you have FOLDER tags for the following locations in your configuration file, the settings in them are applied:

Windows:

• c:\
• c:\files
• c:\files\mffiles

UNIX:

• usr
• usr/files
• usr/files/mffiles
