Studio 8.1 Printer Error

[Doug Easterbrook]

hi Michael


getenv('HOME’)  has always returned a POSIX path name

in studio 5 and in studio 8.    it returns the same thin.


in studio 5, your code converts it to hfs  (its right in your code)

>>>>>> Do FileOps.$convertposixpathtohfspath(con(lHome,'/','Desktop','/','Agents.csv'),lPutFIlePath)



in studio 8, you don’t need to do that.
