Hi,

When I create a file with name more than 12 characters, the file created in
unix is truncated. It seem like UV default setting. Anybody over there know
how to set it not truancate?

Rgds,

Man

do help on LONGNAME or LONGNAMES

Check out "LONGNAMES ON". Remember that NEWACCT controls the way that
new accounts are created, so if you want the default to be LONGNAMES
ON, change it there too. Otherwise, you'll have to issue the command
for each account.

yes, i guess that's by default a throwback to ensure compatability
with unix like systems which in the 'old days' didn't handle filenames
more than 12 or 14 characters.

to get UV to create a file without truncating the name at the
filesystem level i believe you need to execute the command 'LONGNAMES
ON NEWACC,[FLAVOR]

Only certain 'flavors' of UV support longnames - the flavor 'PICK'
does not, the flavor 'IN2' does.

So... use the command 'LONGNAMES ON NEWACC,IN2' to be sure the feature
really does get turned on and work for you.

'. i don't think that command turns the long filenames feature on
permanently for whatever account your are logged into. you have to do
it just before you create a file - or maybe stick it in the login
proc/paragraph so you are sure it's always in effect when you are
doing a UV session.
