Specifying Files On UNIX and Linux

On UNIX and Linux, make directory and file specifications in Enrichment control files as follows.

<tag>/dir1/K/dirn/filename

Where <tag> is the Enrichment control file tag or rule file language component that precedes the file specification.

All directory specifications (dir1, dir2, and so on) and file names can be up to 255 characters in length.

Note: UNIX and Linux Enrichment users can utilize pipes to point input data to different outputs without changing the control file.

If you do not begin the file specification with a slash (/), Enrichment assumes the file specification is relative to your home directory. If you begin the file specification with a slash (as shown in the example), Enrichment assumes the file specification is relative to the root directory. UNIX and Linux file and directory names are case-sensitive. Therefore, the directory or file "Accounting" is different from the directory or file "accounting".

If you use quotes to specify a file name, Enrichment will take whatever is between the quotes as the filename.
