FOLDER

Synopsis

HELP:   Folder as object store
TYPE:   OBJECT
SYNTAX: FOLDER(NET.{},PATH/NAME='str',OVERWRITE,DATBUF=num,MBRBUF=num,DIRBUF=num)

Description

Use folder as object store for archive at write.

The path can be specified in the form of a URL in order to write the archive remotely. The NET overlay is also available for this purpose. The path name can be supplemented here with a number in parenthesis, which is ignored in this case. This means that a new version/generation is always written unless the OVERWRITE switch is set, which forces the archive to be deleted before writing. Another switch can be used to force the flush of the data so that you can be sure that everything has been written. The NOMKDIR switch can be used to prevent the creation of directories for the given path, which would otherwise be done automatically. You can also define the access rights and determine the sizes for internal buffering.
