4GL_IGNORED_SUFFIX_LIST

This variable is a space-delimited list of case-independent suffixes to ignore when opening Microsoft SQL Server tables or DB2 tables.

The standard syntax for MSSQL tables is

server.database.owner.table

with a dot (".") as the separator. This syntax causes the filename idx1.dat to be interpreted as "the table dat owned by the user idx1." By setting this variable (which must be set in the ACUCOBOL-GT run-time system configuration file, and cannot be set via SET ENVIRONMENT), the Connector ignores the listed suffixes.

There can be up to 10 ignored suffixes (more than that are not kept internally, and are ignored.) The default value for this variable is dat.
