It looks like you are trying to read a file from the c drive rather than on the server. Try using
seq.open.local.

On a side note I always copy local files to my server and then user them. See below for a sample. I almost always copy the file up to the server, process, then copy back the output. I only use seq.open.local to make sure the file is present.

Mark


function domain tcbool open_file()
{
long rc
| Create temporary file to copy the PC file to
temp.file = creat.tmp.file$(bse.tmp.dir$())
temp.file = strip$(temp.file)

| Open PC file to make sure it exists.
inputfile = seq.open.local(input.file,"r",0)
if(inputfile<0) then
file_err(inputfile)
return(true)
endif
seq.close.local(inputfile)
rc = client2server(input.file,temp.file,0)

| Open Server file for processing.
inputfile = seq.open(temp.file,"r")
if(inputfile<0) then
file_err(inputfile)
return(true)
endif
return(false)
}

On a side note I always copy local files to my server and then user them.How do you user a file??? :D

good morning pjohns,

sorry, i'm late ...

but I checked my script an the statements on my environment.

put the following lines into the check.input section


check.input:
file_name = strip$(client.filename(rpos(client.filename, "\")+1; len(strip$(client.filename)) -rpos(client.filename, "\")+2))
dll.io = tcmcs.dllftp.c2s(client.filename, "${BSE}/tmp/" & file_name)


The extraction of the filename is a little bit tricky, as the system generates to \\ .

The code in the dll works fine..

Try once more.

Hello Lakoon,


I tried your suggestion (please see attached)

The script compiled okay but when I run my session it says that it cannot find the file entered in the 'in.file' formfield.

Any more ideas:confused:

yes, I think

Insert the red part of the command line

file_name = strip$(in.file(rpos(in.file, "\")+1;len(strip$(in.file)) - rpos(in.file, "")+2 ))

Please debug the the statement, to see what file_name you get.

oh, overlooked something...

your variable in.file contains the path and filename of the client.
after we have called the dll to transfer to the server
you have to set in.file to the server path / filename

like:
in.file = "${BSE}/tmp/" & file_name

put this instead of:

Hello Lakoon,

It worked!!

Thanks for all you help.

Till next time!

Have a good weekend.
