D_ prefixing with hash file stages

myukassign · Post by **myukassign** » Thu Aug 14, 2008 8:25 am

Whenever i use a hash file stage with the "Directory path".

an extra "d_" prefix is adding to the hash file.

How can I disable this auto append feature?

Can anyone help me with a tip?

No, it's not. The hashed file is created with the name you specified and another file is created with the "D_" prefix: the "dictionary" file that holds the metadata.

This is nothing you need to worry about nor "disable".

Very little that goes on here is a waste of time. This is all good learning information for anyone with the same question or whom stumbles over this, so no worries.
