An open output doesn't create the file in the directory. When I first copy the same files from another PC(without Acuserver), then the open output is good and every thing works fine. The name of the file is B-SF04.DAT. All users have all rights on the server 2003. Where is the mistake? Umask? the value I use is 002.

    try this code
    set FILENAME_SPACES environment variable to 0 before the open the data file
    set environment "filename-spaces" to 0
    set "V-Version" to your_vision_version_number -> (2,3,4,5)

    An open output doesn't create the file in the directory. When I first copy the same files from another PC(without Acuserver), then the open output is good and every thing works fine.

    Error 35 on open output usually means the directory doesn't exist. Neither the runtime nor acuserver will automatically create directories for you.

    Does this directory (on the server) already exist?
    C:/APPS/CS/PROG/ACUP/CS\\BEST\\TESTFP\\SUBBK

    Also, you can start acuserver with a logfile and set tracing to level 3 and get more information from the server side.

    acuserve -start -le acuserve.log -t3
    (or set the equivalent if you use the GUI acuserver control panel)

    The directory you mentioned doesn't exist. But c:\\apps\\cs\\best\\testfp\\subbk exist. May the problem is in SERVECONFI wherein this line: FILE-PREFIX @SRV-NNPC3:C:\\APPS\\CS\\PROG\\ACUP @SRV-NNPC3:C:\\APPS\\. Two times a prefix. Some files are in CS\\PROG\\ACUP and the most files are in CS\\BEST\\TESTFP and subdirectorys.
    APPS is a networkdrive and the drivename is I: So the structure of the directorys is, first CS. In directory CS are BEST and PROG. In BEST is TESTFP and in TESTFP are GRB10, SUBBK, HISTO and VERZK. In directory PROG are ACUP, FINP etc.
    I shall start friday a logging of acuserve.
    Thanks for the assistant so fare.

    OPEN OUTPUT will only attempt to create a file in the first path listed in your FILE_PREFIX.

    Whereas OPEN INPUT/I-O will search for existing files, starting with the first entry in FILE_PREFIX; if not found, it will search the second entry, and so on.

    The file's ASSIGN name is appended the to the search path in the FILE_PREFIX. It appears that you have CS\\BEST\\TESTFP\\SUBBK hard-coded (or dynamically assigned) in the file's ASSIGN name, and that @SRV-NNPC3:C:/APPS/CS/PROG/ACUP is the first entry in your FILE_PREFIX. If you make the first entry in FILE_PREFIX "@SRV-NNPC3:C:/APPS", then the file should be created in the full path C:\\APPS\\CS\\BEST\\TESTFP\\SUBBK.

    (note that the runtime and acuserve will accept either forward/back slashes).

    If you don't have too many files, you may want to use explicit aliases in your runtime config file -- one alias for each file:

    B-SF04.DAT @SRV-NNPC3:C:/APPS/CS/BEST/TESTFP/SUBBK/B-SF04.DAT
    aaaaaa.DAT @SRV-NNPC3:C:/APPS/CS/BEST/TESTFP/SUBBK/aaaaaa.DAT
    bbbbbb.DAT @SRV-NNPC3:C:/APPS/CS/PROG/ACUP/bbbbbb.DAT

    Then, make your ASSIGN names in the program just be the filename with no path:

    SELECT .... ASSIGN TO "aaaaaa.DAT"
