What is it?
You no longer have to specify all the paths and sub-directories in the FFI_PATH configuration variable. You only have to specify the top-most directory. For example, assume the FFI_PATH is set to /dir1;, and that the file myfile.txt exists in directory /dir1/subdir1. Then a macro contained the following statements:
@DTW_ASSIGN(filename, "/dir1/subdir1/myfile.txt")
@DTWF_READFILE(filename, strvar)
@DTW_ASSIGN(filename, "/subdir1/myfile.txt")
@DTWF_READFILE(filename, strvar)
would result in an attempt to read in the file /dir1/subdir1/myfile.txt
Why would I want to use it?
Eliminates the need to put all directories and subdirectories in the FFI_PATH configuration statement.
How do I use it?
Set FFI_PATH to the top-most directory, and the files specified in flatfile functions can contain just the sub-directories.
