Documentation

Use

When using different operating systems you should use a 'logical' directory (entry 'L') instead of a 'physical' directory (empty field). This directory is then allocated a physical directory for each operating system in the transaction FILE.

Dependencies

You must define a function module in the field identification for a logical directory, which can convert the logical names in the correct physical names. For further information see the F1 Help for field identification.
