Hi All,

I have been asked for assistance on a Foxpro DOS system.

Basically, all my friend wants is to create a text file with a long filename.

I have done the following to no avail:

1. used RUN in the Command Window

run /0 copy mytext.txt mylonglongtext.txt
or
run copy mytext.txt mylonglongtext.txt

The response was "Duplicate file name or file not found"

2. tried using FCREATE(), FPUTS() and FCLOSE()

x = FCREATE( "mylonglongtext.txt" )
= FPUTS( x, "Hello World" )
= FPUTS( x, "Hello Again" )
= FCLOSE( x )

The resulting filename is truncate to just "mylonglo.txt" (DOS 8.3 format)

Thanks in advance!
