Syntax group definition

In this activity you define syntax groups for operating systems. The syntax group is used to group operating systems with identical syntax for filenames and paths. As a result, the number of the logical paths to be defined can be reduced. The definition consists of the following values:

Name to be assigned freely, for example DOS.
Descriptive short text.
Maximum length of a filename in operating systems in the syntax group concerned.
Indicates that a file name extension is allowed in operating systems in the syntax group concerned.
Indicates that the syntax group is relevant for the current system configuration. This means that the overview created using transaction sf07 will include filenames and paths for this syntax group (see Run analyses).

Activities

1. Check whether a syntax group with the required syntax for filenames and paths already exists.
2. Define a new syntax group if necessary.
