ECN-4740 XML PUT TEXT fails when writing to a UNC path

Defect Number: 58015

Product: ACUCOBOL-GT

Module: XML Extensions

Machines Affected: Windows

Known Versions Affected: All

DESCRIPTION:

If the current working directory is a UNC path, e.g., a network share, XML extensions could not create some required files, causing XML PUT TEXT to fail with an error 13.

The Windows command line did not allow the current working directory to be set to a UNC path name such as \\SERVERNAME\SHARE\DIR1\DIR2. Instead, the UNC path must be mapped to a drive letter. XML Extensions works fine in this mode. However, a UNC path may be specified when launching a Windows program such as WRUN32 from a Windows shortcut. You can also use PowerShell to set a UNC working directory. Neither of these methods was properly supported in XML Extensions.

This problem has been resolved.
