The SEARCHONCREATE parameter determines whether the File Handler searches each specified directory on a multi-directory path for a file with the same name as the one being created. This option applies only to files which are opened with OPEN OUTPUT.
Note: This parameter can be set globally only, that is under the tag [XFH-DEFAULT]. You cannot set the parameter for an individual file.
SEARCHONCREATE={ON|OFF}
ON | The path will be searched for the file and, if found, the directory where it is found will be used for the creation of the new file. |
OFF | The file will be created in the first directory on the search path. |
Default: | OFF |
