9/194 return code when accessing a file >6GB located via a physical path

Problem:

When using an extfh.cfg file to access a file >6GB that is located using a physical path, often the physical path is mistakenly configured as:

    [\\\\TESTING\\\\DATA\\\\TF.DAT]

    IDXFORMAT=8

    FILEMAXSIZE=8

Resolution:

To configure a physical path in an extfh.cfg file, you need to enure that an extra set of \\\\ characters are at the begining of the path, so in this instance it should read:

[\\\\\\\\TESTING\\\\DATA\\\\TF.DAT]

    IDXFORMAT=8

    FILEMAXSIZE=8
