Type:
StringA string representing the path defined to this file specification.
Remarks
A string representing the path defined to this file specification. The path may have been assigned explicitly or as part of a longer file specification (assigned either as an instantiation parameter or as part of a file name or full path assignment).
When accessing FileSpec:Path, the requested path is returned with a leading slash and when applicable a trailing slash.
When assigning FileSpec:Path, you can specify a path with or without leading or trailing slashes. To specify the root, assign a single slash. Assigning a NULL_STRING (or NIL) to the drive means that the drive is unknown or unspecified; the various functions and objects that use the file specification to locate the file looks on whatever default drive would apply if a file name without a drive is specified.
Assigning a value to the path normally does not affect the drive, file name, or extension. If a drive is included in the path, it is assigned to the path.
Examples
Here are some examples of strings that are returned by FileSpec:Path, with an explanation of what they indicate:
1\data\customer
2\
3<EmptyString>
