PROBLEM AFTER UPGRADING FROM V7.5.2. TO V7.5.3

Post by SIL »

HI,
In release v7.5.3 I have a problem with the server container.
In my job I call a container and pass on two parameters: a path and a file name, the output of the container is a new seqfile.
until this release this would create a new file at the dir it got from the parameters .
par1 = d:\dw_ut\pd_fexp
par2= filename

with the new release it creates a new file at d:\dw_ut
with filename pd_fexpfilename

putting a \ at the end of par1 solves the problem
but this will make all my other jobs not run well because it is a global parameter
does anyone have a similar problem \ knows how to fix ?

So, they fixed something that never should have been working. What makes you think your change will 'make all other jobs not run well'? Have your tried it? What happened?

Ah... Windows. UNIX wouldn't care. You'll need to add the path separator in the container it seems - I assume you are doing "#par1##filename#" there, yes?

in the container i do ""#par1#\#filename#" and also in the other jobs that not a container

:? Confused. So... is this something you know how to fix or does it still seem to be bugged / not working for you? I can't tell from what you wrote.
