Convert file to folder (UD)

[Stuart Boydell]

jrf -jHbc option to resize a hashed file to an OS folder doesn't seem to work. Is there a trick or alternative to resize to an OS folder?

Also, if I can get it working - will this create an OBJECT part - which I don't want?

In a zumasys/jbase:latest container:

>CREATE-FILE TEST1

[ 417 ] File TEST1]D created , type = JD

[ 417 ] File TEST1 created , type = JD

>OFF

sh-4.4# jsh -a TEST

>jrf -Hjbc TEST1

/jbasedata/dbms/TEST/TEST1 is currently an empty file

(R)esize anyway or (S)kip file resize: R

MOVE /jbasedata/dbms/TEST/1tmp.jrf to /jbasedata/dbms/TEST/TEST1 failed with error: 20

Resize of /jbasedata/dbms/TEST/TEST1 was skipped!

0 file(s) resized.

1 file(s) skipped and could not be overwritten (probably in use)...

MOVE /jbasedata/dbms/TEST/1tmp.jrf to /jbasedata/dbms/TEST/TEST1 failed with error: 20

Elapsed: 00:00:05

Stuart,

This option is meant for resizing hashed source code files to a folder and does include an OBJECT data section.

 

There is currently no option to resize to a regular TYPE=UD.

This works on Windows but seems to be a problem on Linux.

 

We will look into it.

 

Mike

I'm currently trying to do this from a bash script but I'm not sure how to pipe into the COPY command.

Can anyone suggest something that works along the lines of:

mkdir tmp123

echo "(tmp123"|COPY DICT MYFILE *

This just seems to try to copy contents of the current folder to itself!

Thanks Mike

I just discovered the alternate COPY format works for this scenario.

COPY FROM $fileName TO $tmpFolder ALL

FWIW you can do

COPY FROM onefile TO anotherfile ALL {OVERWRITING}

The OVERWRITING will be quicker.
