The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSWhen using certain combinations of the SourceSafe Command line to display information, filenames may appear truncated. This will occur if the filename being displayed is greater than 19 characters in length. CAUSEIt may be desirable to redirect or print the output from certain SourceSafe Command lines. To ensure that this output appears in a presentable format, long filenames may be truncated to maintain an even columnar layout. RESOLUTION
The above truncation will appear only against files that are checked out.
Files containing greater than 19 characters that are not checked out will
have their entire filename displayed.
SS DIR -E -NSagainst the database described in the Steps to Reproduce Problem section of this article will generate output that uses the file's 8.3 DOS format name. All other information is displayed as expected. -NS instructs SourceSafe to use "short" filenames, -NL is used for long filenames. NOTE: When using short filenames in SourceSafe, you may combine the -NS switch with other Command line options, such as ADD, CHECKIN, and CHECKOUT. STATUSMicrosoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available. MORE INFORMATIONSteps to Reproduce Problem
