Hi Guys
I need to create a 64bit HASH file outside of the project directory. I have tried:
CREATE.FILE '\tmp\MYHASH\FILENAME' 1 2000 64Bit
for example but the file is still created with the name %tmp%MYHASH%FILENAME in the project directory. Am I right in saying I cant create a HASH file from Administrator in a specific location?
Is there a way I could create the file and then edit the attributes in UV by hacking a table or two? Or is there an easier way?
thanks!
Create HASH file in specific folder using CREATE.FILE

The way to do this is to use the UNIX command that actually creates the file:
mkdbfile {filepath & name} 2 1 4 64BIT
this creates a type 2 file with a modulo of 1, separation of 4 and 64BIT pointers.
You can use the hashed file stage and file creation command in a job, run it and see the actual mkdbfile command in the job's log to get an idea of how it works.
mkdbfile {filepath & name} 2 1 4 64BIT

</a>Thanks Arnd, works like a charm.
I have now placed the command in as a before job subroutine, i would have thought the $DSHOME/$PATH variables would come into play because the director complains about the command not found unless i physically put the full path and filename to specify where mkdbfile is.
many thanks again!
