PO09336: WRONG IDS FILE DISPLAYED WHEN TRYING TO OPEN AN IDB FILE, WHERE IDB AND IDS NOT IN THE SAME FOLDER

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• I'm in iBase 903. I have an IDB file which is not in the same
  folder as the IDS. And they have different names.
  
  For example,
  you'd have iBase_1.idb and Security.ids.
  
  If I double-click on
  the IDB file from a windows explorer, iBase will ask me to
  specify the IDS file, and by default, it will display the
  folder of the IDB file, and it will display a made-up name for
  the IDS file, consisting of the name of the IDB file, plus the
  IDS extension.
  
  In the example here, it'll write "iBase_1.ids"
  as the security file.
  
  This is a change from iBase 8.9 (where
  iBase would automatically go to the correct folder for the
  IDS), and it looks like a regression.
  
  Note that this only
  happens if the IDS and IDB files are not in the same folder.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• This fix will be available in the iBase v9.0.4 release.
  

Problem conclusion
