Syntax

Path_MakeNative(pathname)

Parameters

pathname – A string containing the pathname in generic format.

Return value

Generic pathnames have been designed to allow several different operating environments access to the same set of data in a Dexterity application. Generic pathnames use a colon (:) before and after DOS drive letters. The characters that separate folders and directories are forward slashes (/).
