Error locating/loading configuration file

Problem:

When setting MFCSCFG to a path that contains spaces, mfclient does not seem to find the configuration file.

Resolution:

Long directory name is not supported even if it is quoted. Use the short name instead, e.g. "C:\\Program Files" --> "C:\\Progra~1"

You may want to look at a demo (longname.zip), which shows how to return a short filename (or directory name) from a long file name under COBOL using the WIN 32 APIs. Demos can be found at the Example & Utilities page from the Micro Focus SupportLine site (http://supportline.microfocus.com)
