MS-DOS "For" Command Fails when Run Against an FPNW Server (148487)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft File and Print Services for NetWare 3.51
This article was previously published under Q148487 SYMPTOMS
On your computer running Windows with the NetWare NETX.COM redirector
installed, when you run the For command (which is an internal COMMAND.COM
command) against a File and Print Services for NetWare (FPNW) server, the
command fails after the first pass. For example, the following command only
lists the first file and then quits:
for %f in (*.*) do dir %f /b
CAUSE
The NetWare NETX.EXE redirector causes it to get the task numbers mixed up.
The server closes all open file searches when the client sends an EndOfJob
request after the first For-loop executes. The For command fails when the
client asks for more files on a search that the client had just implicitily
closed.
