Last reviewed: April 29, 1997
Article ID: Q110524

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SQL Server Programmer's Toolkit, version 4.2

BUG# 9765 (4.2b)

SYMPTOMS

Any attempt to direct the output using a long file name to a HPFS partition by the 4.2b version of ISQL.EXE will result in the following OS/2 error:

   Cannot open out file.
   No such file or directory.

WORKAROUND

Continue to use file names with a limit of eight characters and a 3 character extension. Also, it is possible to use the ISQL.EXE from SQL Server version 4.2a for OS/2 in order to workaround this problem

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the ISQL version 4.2b for OS/2. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
