If your request is running on the WebFOCUS server, then your FILEDEF will be trying to write the file to the C: drive of the _server_.


WebFOCUS 8.2.06 mostly Windows Server

Thank you Frank and Twanette..
Yes I was able to write to a file after HOLDing the records to the FILEDEF name.. But what I am trying to do is to capture the messages from WF to a file for trouble shooting.. Yes I can do the View... but sometimes it gets very long and for complex reporting, would help if there a log file of all messages... in the old days used SYSPRINT to capture the messaages.. but SYSPRINT not available in WF?
following is a test code
SET EMGSRV=FILE
APP FILEDEF SYSPRINT DISK C:\ibi\DevStudio76\srv76\wfs\user\nslog.txt
-RUN
? FILEDEF
? PATH
-SET &ECHO=ALL;
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
'CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY'
'CAR.COMP.CAR'
'CAR.CARREC.MODEL'
'CAR.BODY.BODYTYPE'
IF RECORDLIMIT IS 10
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
END
TYPE "TEST LOG"
-RUN
-CLOSE SYSPRINT
-RUN
FILEDEF SYSPRINT TERM
-RUN
-EXIT
