FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
SYMPTOM(s):
Search function returns ? when using UNC style file name
Search function works when file name is specified with a mapped drive
The actual file name being searched for is 'NUL'
Application is trying to determine if a given directory exists
CAUSE:
The 'NUL' file name is a special file name that is the equivalent of /dev
ull on a UNIX based system. Windows does not make this special file name available when using a UNC style file name.
FIX:
Modify the application to use the FILE-INFO handle instead of the SEARCH function. The FILE-INFO handle can easily tell you whether a given location exists.
