Description
If FULLPATH is set ON, then the full file specification, including disk and directory, is displayed by commands and functions that display or return filenames. When FULLPATH is set OFF only the filename is displayed or returned. The SET FULLPATH OFF command can be used when programs whose functions return full file and path names are incompatible with programs whose functions only return the drive and the filename. The default for SET FULLPATH is OFF. The function BASENAME() can be used with FULLPATH to return only the filename when SET FULLPATH is ON.
Example
use customers ? dbf() CUSTOMERS.DBF set fullpath on ? dbf() C:\LIANJA\DATA\SOUTHWIND\CUSTOMERS.DBF
