SET DOCUMENT TYPE (document; fileType)
| Parameter | Type | Description | |
| document | String |  | Document name or |
| full document pathname | |||
| fileType | String | | Windows file extension (1 to 3-character string) |
| or Mac OS file type (4-character string) |
Description
The SET DOCUMENT TYPE command sets the type of the document whose name or pathname you pass in document.
You pass the new type of the document in fileType.
See the discussion of file types in System Documents and Document type.
On Windows, this command modifies the file extension and therefore the value of document. For example, the instruction:
SET DOCUMENT TYPE("C:\\Docs\\Invoice.asc";"TEXT")
renames the file "Invoice.asc" to "Invoice.txt". In 4D, the Macintosh "TEXT" type corresponds to the Windows "txt" type.
If the type has no equivalent provided by 4D, you will have to pass the extension. For example, the following instruction renames the file "Invoice.asc" to "Invoice.zip":
SET DOCUMENT TYPE("C:\\Docs\\Invoice.asc";"zip")
