I have a TABLE FILE where I want to create a focus db. Thus, I use the following line:

ON TABLE HOLD AS Test_Database FORMAT FOCUS

However, when looking in Explorer, the names of the 2 files created are lower case:

test_database.foc
test_database.mas

I can use a -DOS RENAME command and change it from lower to mixed case for both files. But I was wondering if there's a setting, or something, in WebFocus such that filenames would be saved the way I type it - i.e., mixed case - without using extra lines (the DOS commands).

Thanks,
Mark

I'm not sure why you need to do that. I suggest you use all uppercase for the HOLD AS TEST_DATBASE. That way you won't have to deal with -DOS commands.

BabaNYC,

I like using mixed case for filenames. That way, I can cut down on underscores. Plus, using all uppercase, as in your example, does the same as in my example - the files still end up all lowercase in Explorer.

Thanks,

Unfortunately, regardless of the case you use in the HOLD AS, the file on disk will be in lowercase. For instance take a look at the apps/ibisamp directory you'll see that car.mas is all lowercase even though we usually type TABLE FILE CAR. BTW, TABLE FILE car and TABLE FILE Car work the same.
