We do all our exports to CSV by lfieldump and this works for years
Now, however, a customer came up with the idea of using a DOS environment variable to determine the directory instead of fixed directories.
So instead of "Q:\outpute\export1.csv,"
it should now be "%app_export%\export1.csv"
(where app_export is defined differently on each client).
Unfortunately, Uniface cannot handle this; the file system converts it to "?app_export?\export1.csv," and the file system complains.
Is there a simple solution for this, i.e., any letter combinations that can be used at the file system level to resolve "%%app_export%"?
Of course, I can use a few tricks to ask Windows/DOS what the resolution is before each fieldump, and then replace that part.
But I'm reluctant to check all our programs for this and make changes :-)
