Hi,

I have a requirement in my project to create a hash file in a specified directory with the given name, I tried to create hash file through CREATE.FILE FILENAME command from TCL and it is creating the file at project directory only. When I was trying to prefix the directory name with the file name, the command is throwing an error.

Could anyone please help me to create a hash file to the specific directory through command.

Thanks,

You can find the syntax in any job's log that creates one - the command is 'mkdbfile' and the syntax is also documented in the HFC or Hashed File Calculator utility on your client CDROM.

Thanks Chulett,

This mkdbfile comment has many parameters, how to know these parameters information.

Could you please help me to get this.

Thanks

did you check the HFC utility documentation as suggested? The minimal syntax for mkdbfile is:

mkdbfile {HashedFilePathAndName} {type} {modulus} {separation}

type 30 (dynamic) files have a different syntax:

mkdbfile {HashedFilePathAndName} 30 {MinModulus} {GroupSize} {HashType (20 for General, 21 for SEQ.NUM)} {MergePct} {SplitPct} {LargeRecSize}

The UniVerse documentation will list all the mkdbfile options.

HFC is on the client CDROM under 'Utilities/Unsupported' or perhaps the other way 'round. As noted, it's all there.
