HTTPAPI - A path name is too long

["Holmes, Worth" <WHolmes1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

   Has anyone received this message "open(): A path name is too long."
   When trying to perform a post that will result in receiving an XML
   file?


   The full file name is "/qdls/Temp/VIN229453.xml".


   Also, what is the best way to display the HTTP that is generated? I
   had the program in debug and verified all variables, and received the
   message at statement 135.  RC was -1.


   Below is the source that is executed prior to receiving the message (
   I used EXAMPLE2, which I had successfully compiled & executed,  as a
   starting point):

   0133.00      endif;

   0134.00

   0135.00      if rc <>
   1;

   0136.00         msg =

   0140.00      endif;

   0141.00

   0142.00    // When done, make sure you call this function to free up
   memory

   0143.00      callp WEBFORM_close(Form);

   The Parse_XML subroutine parses the XML document using the slick
   operand XML-INTO.
