File and Directory Naming Considerations on Specific Platforms

The various platforms that Uniface supports have different file and directory naming conventions. If you know that you are writing ProcScript for local file management on a specific platform, you can use that platform’s naming conventions in ProcScript.

If you do, the entire ProcScript string, including the characters used to separate the platform-specific constituents of a full file path, are passed as is by Uniface to the underlying platform’s operating system when the component runs. Uniface ProcScript does not check the syntax of any such string, so this might result in a runtime error if the underlying operating system does not support it.

Caution: Wildcard characters (?, *) in a file or path name are not checked or translated by Uniface.
