PATHMAKE

This activity receives a folder path and a file name and extension and constructs and returns the full file path.

The activity's behavior is subject to the operating environment. For example, it uses or looks for a path delimiter of '\' or '/' according to whether the processing sequence engine is running on a Windows or IBM i server.

INPUT Parameters:

PATHIN : Required

This parameter specifies the folder path - that is the portion of the path left of the file name and extension. It may include a drive name or network location. It may or may not include the terminating folder separator ('\' or '/' according to operating environment). If it does not, the activity will append it.

FILEIN : Optional

This parameter specifies the file name. It may include the file extension, in which case the EXTENSIONIN parameter should not be specified.

EXTENSIONIN : Optional

This parameter specifies the file extension, if required. If specified, the activity will append this to the file path. It may or may not include the period (.) separator - if it does not, the activity will add it.

OUTPUT Parameters:

PATHOUT :

Upon completion, this parameter will contain the full file path.
