Output Path

Anonymous — Sun, 23 Jul 2006 23:37:46 GMT

I am trying to create a text file using the database extension in a specific path. My script stops when i try to do this. Any ideas?

ch2 = open ("DATA", ProjectNumber + "_Comp_" + TypeModeName + ".txt","SEPARATOR=',', MODE = WO, H:\SomeFolder\)

I would use LIBRARY for the path, except my file does not exist yet, and i do not want to save it in the data folder.

Try this - this is the format I use.
The file path and name needs to be all one entry.

ch2 = open ("DATA", "H:\SomeFolder"+ProjectNumber + "_Comp_" + TypeModeName + ".txt","SEPARATOR=',', MODE = WO")

Thanks Barry, that did the trick.

Such a simple syntax error, i must have tried everything but this.
