Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
IBM AS/400
Progress 8.x
Progress 9.x
SYMPTOM(s):
Using Netsoft Folders
If R: is a drive mapped using Netsoft's Folders, then the OS-DIR("R:\") function returns incorrect information.
CAUSE:
Microsoft Issue.
The OS-DIR() function does not work with an AS/400 shared folder mapped to a DOS drive using Netsoft's Folders application.
This problem lies solely with the Netsoft Folders application, which does not support _dos_findfirst(), _dos_findnext() APIs properly.
-- The _dos_findfirst() returns the AS/400 system name identified as the volume name. This happens even if the DOS drive was mapped to a specific folder on the AS/400.
-- The _dos_findnext() returns result code 0x12 ("no more files"), even when files exist in the directory/folder.
FIX:
This has been reported to Netsoft as a bug.
