Subject: Dir$() on AIX server giving "Path Not Found" error

Feedback Type: Problem

Product Area: Notes Client

Technical Area: Application Development

Platform: AIX

Release: 8.5.2

Reproducible: -Reproducibility-

We run Domino on an AIX server (o/s is AIX 1 7). I need to pick up files from a series of directories that have been created on the server. (The files will be FTP’d to these directories from various locations.) My code will grab each file, create a Notes document and attach the file.

Here’s the code snippet:

1 Dim fullpath As string
2 fullpath = "/BrokerDownload/HeadOffice/Cancellation/"
3 fileName$ = Dir$(fullpath, 0)

I’m getting a “Path Not Found” error on Line 3.
I’ve tried innumerable variations on the directory name in Line 2:

notesp1/BrokerDownload/HeadOffice/Cancellation/*.*
/BrokerDownload/HeadOffice/Cancellation
/BrokerDownload/HeadOffice/Cancellation/
/BrokerDownload/HeadOffice/Cancellation/*.*

The only way the code actually works is if I am only pointing to the BrokerDownload directory. This is the code that works:

1 Dim fullpath As string
2 fullpath = "/BrokerDownload"
3 fileName$ = Dir$(fullpath, 0)

Neither I nor my Administrator can see any reason for the error. We’ve verified that all directories and subdirectories have the same permissions and owner.

It feels as if it’s some sort of mapping issue. Any direction on how to correctly refer to the directories (or how to rename them so I can reference them) is appreciated.
