The
SEARCHONCREATE parameter determines whether the File Handler searches each specified directory on a multi-directory path for a file with
the same name as the one being created. This option applies only to files which are opened with OPEN OUTPUT.
Syntax:
SEARCHONCREATE
=
{
ON
}
{
OFF
}
Parameters:
- ON
- The path will be searched for the file and, if found, the directory where it is found will be used for the creation of the
new file.
- OFF
- The file will be created in the first directory on the search path.
Comments:
This parameter can be set globally only, that is under the tag
[XFH-DEFAULT]. You cannot set the parameter for an individual file.
