Settings that apply to a specific file are listed under the specific filename tag; for example:
[file1.dat] IDXFORMAT=17 [file2.dat] IDXFORMAT=21
sets file1.dat to IDXFORMAT 17 and file2.dat to IDXFORMAT 21.
To enable the use of filenames (without a pathname), set BASENAME=ON in the [XFH-DEFAULT] section.
When you use the filename tag, the path to the current directory is assumed, and if a FOLDER tag exists for any folder along the path, settings for that tag are applied. For example, if you have the following file assignment:
SELECT myFile ASSIGN TO 'file1.dat'
and your application is run in the directory usr/files/mffiles, then if you have FOLDER tags for the following locations in your configuration file, the settings in them are applied:
