Location of temporary sorting files for fpSQL

[bruceeaston]

Is there any way to choose a directory other than the root directory for fPSQL temporary sorting files?

What OS ? Does it not honor PFTMP setting ?

It respects PFTMP for me.  (Verify this by setting PFTMP to an invalid location, and you should get an error message pointing to that location.)

This is on Novel Netware server, filepro 5.0.14 and fPSQL is 5.0.13.

The application and data files are on S: drive.  I tried setting PFTMP to a writeable directory local to S: (not root dir) and also tried setting to a dir in C: both in config file and on dev. menu script just prior to invoking fPSQL and it still gives error of attempting to put sort file in "/".

They have it working now by opening permissions on root, but obviously no one likes that solution.

BTW, I clicked on the reply button at the bottom of your responses, but my Subject line above is empty - does that seem right?
