COPY won't work without an extension
« Thread started on: Nov 20th, 2014, 10:53am »
Does anyone have any ideas? I have a file called "0" or "japan" or whatever; the point is that there is no file extension. If I try OPENIN or OPENUP or *COPY they all fail, usually with a "File not found" error. Yet if I drag the file from one place to another it happens perfectly.
I've tried enclosing the file name is doublequotes, but it makes no difference.
Any ideas how to get the file fo *COPY from location A to location B?

The manual says : Quote:
If the extension is omitted, .BBC is assumed. To specify a filename with no extension, add a final full-stop.
Have you taken into account that OPENIN, if no extension is specified, will be looking for a file with extension .BBC unless you've added a final full-stop ?
