Re: ORACLE_TERM problem

Jonathan, I think you misunderstood my problem.

Yes, I know this will work when you define the filename to be *equal* to the device name.

My problem is I'm forced in my situation to make the filename different to the device name for reasons I'd rather not go into.

Eg: ..../fmrcWY120SCR.res where the device is WY120

This is handled on the command line as RUNFORM45 TERM=WY120SCR:WY120

It would seem logical to me that if ORACLE_TERM=WY120SCR:WY120 that this should still work. However, you get a toolkit error and my testing seems to indicate that it does not like it when the device name is coded like this.

I even tried leaving it off (ORACLE_TERM=WY120SCR) hoping oracle would pick up WY120 in the file as it is the default device in the file...no such luck.

It seems to me this a bug.

Regards
Mal.
