FILE Keyword (REPOSITORY ATTRIBUTES command)

The FILE keyword is required and specifies the IBM® SPSS® Collaboration and Deployment Services Repository object whose attributes are to be set.

• The form of the file specification for an object in a IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services Repository is the scheme name SPSSCR , followed by a colon, either one or two slashes (forward or backward), and a file path, all enclosed in quotes. For example:

  'SPSSCR://scripts/myscript.py'

• Paths can be specified with forward slashes (/) or backslashes (\).
• You can define a file handle to a file or a directory in a IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services Repository and use that handle in file specifications for IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services Repository objects.
• You can use the CD command to set the working directory to a directory in the currently connected IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services Repository, allowing you to use relative paths in file specifications for IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services Repository objects.

• File specifications for IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services Repository objects must specify the filename exactly as provided when the file was stored. If the file was stored with an extension, then you must supply the extension. If the file was stored without an extension then do not include one.

For examples of file specifications, see the examples for the REPOSITORY COPY command.
