102.0. "FCS: How are documents named within a partition?" by AIMTEC::PORTER_T (Terry Porter, ALL-IN-1 Support, Atlanta CSC) Tue Feb 25 1992 21:25

The FCS names objects within a partition in the form

DRAWER.FOLDER.DOCUMENT.ATT_DOC

where 

DRAWER is the drawer name in the form [USER]NAME

FOLDER is the folder name

DOCUMENT is the document number (e.g. 000034)

ATT_DOC is the identifier for an attachment.

The questions I have are ...

1. Does DOCUMENT have to be all 6 digits or can leading zeros be missed.

2. What is the identifier for an attachment, the SDAF key seems a reasonable
   value, is this correct?

3. Where are these names used and/or stored? I know that calls to FCS functions 
   often require an external UID in the above form, but are these EUIDs stored 
   anywhere in ALL-IN-1 or are they generated each time they are needed.

   I would guess that they are not stored (except possibly in memory for later 
   re-use during the same ALL-IN-1 session), but I want to be sure before I 
   tell others that.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Terry

    Hi Terry,
    
1. Does DOCUMENT have to be all 6 digits or can leading zeros be missed.
    
    It needs the 6 digits in the external UID.

    I hope to get the other answers to you as soon as possible.

Terry,

	Correct, the SDAF key is the identifier.

	Usually EUIDs are generated when they are needed.
	The only place where EUIDs really are stored is in a user's
	FILECAB.DAT, which contains a field holding the drawer-EUID.
