Description

When you open a file with create( ) or open( ), the path is optional. If you use create( ) without a path, the file is created in the current directory. If you use open( ) without a path, dBASE Plus looks for the file in the current directory, then in the search path(s) you specified with SET PATH, if any.

A File object’s path property reflects the full path and file name for the open file. It is a read-only property.
