Reply To: Passing Global Variables from FTP Dir Parse to IB Data

[Charlie Bursell]

Won’t work Bob.  You don’t have access to meta data in a Directory Parse routine.  There is not a message at that point.  You are just telling the engine which files to process.

A global list will work as long as you read the list in an IB proc so that both procs are in the same interpreter.  Just push the files onto a global list.  Then in the IB proc, as you read a message, pop off the file name.

Now, if you need the file name in a later ineterpreter, put it in the USER meta data field.
