File Creation Error

[zgreatwhite]

I have Novell 4.xx server running a network with DOS and Win98 machines.

From the DOS command line on a DOS workstation, the command

type filename >> hutput.dat

runs without any problems(where h: is a network drive)

From the DOS command line on a Win98 workstation, the command

type filename >> hutput.dat

gives: FILE CREATION ERROR.


To determine if there is a file sharing problem, from the DOS command line on a Win98 workstation, the command

type filename > hutput.dat

works without any problem.

To determine if there is an output problem, from the DOS command line on a Win98 workstation, the command

type filename >> cutput.dat

(c: is local to the workstation) works without any problem.


I was hoping someone could try these commands on their machines in a similar environment to determine if the problem is unique to me, or even better, tell me what I have overlooked on my Win98 machines.

Best Regards,

in win98 in order for it to work, h: has to be mapped as a root drive. (a bug with windows)
Alternatively, you can type the full path from the root of h: (eg. h:\sys\my folder\my subfolder\output.dat)
