Relative and Absolute Path

How do I print the absolute path from the relative path in the document?

e.g. If I have source text files in, LET vFilePath=..\..\..\IMS\Source\*.txt

Then I need to print the absolute path of my source file directory.

Is this what you're looking for?

filepath()

Returns a string containing the full path to the table file currently being read.

Example:

Load *, filepath( ) as X from

C:\UserFiles\abc.txt

Will return 'C:\UserFiles\abc.txt' in field X in each record read.

replace text in bold with your file

LET vFilePath='.\tmp\S.qvd';

load distinct FileDir() as MyFile FROM $(vFilePath) (qvd);

LET vFullFileDir = peek('MyFile');

TRACE $(vFullFileDir);
