FILEDEF PRMOVE DISK "\\directory\filename2.txt"
FILEDEF PRMOVX DISK "&SEND2&filedate&SENDEXT"
-RUN

PRINT FIELD1 AS ''
ON TABLE HOLD AS 'LUMOVX' FORMAT ALPHA

Are you running under MRE, if so the directory needs to be on the application server is my understanding of what works.

This is brand new server and there is no Master file. I'm not running this under MRE.

another note we just implemented production enviroments we had test before. Everything works just fine in Test but in production it's not working. I've copied Master files from test to production came up with little different issues. I'm looking what may be access issues. Production server may not have access to files on different servers.

I didn't think you need a master file for just access the text files.

Yevgeniy,

If you want to perform a TABLE request then you will need metadata (a.k.a. master file) otherwise it's akin to trying to read a file in COBOL without an FD!

Yevgeniy,

As Tony stated, you need a Master. How would WebFOCUS know what FIELD1 is without a Master?
