I am trying to run a macro on UNIx environment which takes the log filename as one input:
%custom_macro( lib=abc,
logfile= ad*.log);
but I get in log that the file /lib/ad*.log doesn't exist. However, I am able to run the same macro in Windows environment without any issues and it is taking the wildcard properly. Please suggest me any solution if it is due to the usage of * in UNIX env.
A quick Google states that Unix uses * as wildcard as well. Its likely the macro itself, provide a log/code example. Perhaps the path doesn't exist/you don't have access to it, or its on a different server.
Windows is not the same as UNIX. UNIX is not the same as Windows.
Why would you want to name the log file with an asterisk in the name anyway? Use an actual file name (without an asterisk).
Please post the log, using the {i} icon to preserve formatting. Make sure that the macro code and the macro call are included.
