RESET N1
For the logical file path TXX_DART_FILE_PATH, you need to specify the
physical file path for the relevant syntax group. The syntax group must
correspond to the operating system on the application server that
executes the extraction or the reports.
The physical file path must consist of the variables <PARAM_1> and
<FILENAME>. The variable <PARAM_1> is replaced by the directory
specified in the directory set; the variable <FILENAME> stands for the
file name.
Example: For UNIX and Windows NT, the physical file path is <(>
<<)>PARAM_1><FILENAME>.
For the logical file name TXW_DART_FILE_NAME, the physical file name
<PARAM_2> must be specified. This variable is replaced during runtime
with the file name defined by the user. You also have to specify the
logical path TXX_TAXFILE_PATH.
You can make these settings in Customizing for Basis under
<ZK>Cross-Client Maintenance of File Names and Paths</>.
You can also define the file paths in the DART data file configuration
in the <ZK>File Path Assignment</> screen.
