471.0. "FOC1006 HELP" by USMFG::BHYNES () Fri Oct 18 1991 15:03

    It started this way
    I had in my main fex	use
    				foc$dir1:name1.idx
    				foc$dir1:name2.idx
    				end
                                .
    				.
    				-if &cntr eq 1 goto incone
                                .
    				.
    				-incone
    				include subfex1 (which has the
    				-run	         table file name1)
    
     I got a FOC226 error message saying.. filedef missing for external
    					   file : name1
    
    I then put in my main fex 	use
                           	foc$dir1:name1.idx
                           	foc$dir1:name2.idx
                           	end
    
    				filedef name1 disk name1.idx
    				filedef name2 disk name2.idx
    				-run
    
    I then got a   FOC1006 DDNAME IS NOT ALLOCATED : NAME1
                   FOC1006 DDNAME IS NOT ALLOCATED : NAME2
    
    I then put the filedef in name1.fex, but got the FOC1006 error
    
    any help out there...
   
    Thanks bob..

How about just using 

	FILEDEF NAME1 DISK FOC$DIR1:NAME1.IDX

	Also, where is your .mas file for NAME1???

	In FOC$DIR1 as well?

    The .mas are also in foc$dir1:    name1.mas
                                      name1.idx
    
    
    I tried what  .1 suggested and it works...
    
    Thanks Lisa

    Just for clarification, Bob, FILEDEF is used to establish mapping to 
    non-FOCUS format files, while USE must be used to map to FOCUS (.FOC) 
    files.
