STD vs lib_fileservices
Hello,
The code I am looking at calls FileServices.RemoteDirectory.
In class I was introduced to the STD libraries. Now on the Alpha_Dev_Thor repository I find no STD library. However, I have found lib_fileservices. It does have a FileServices.RemoteDirectory.
Question 1: Why don't I see a STD library? Is this only with the Version 5?
In the documentation there is a STD.RemoteDirectory. It is like this:
STD.File.RemoteDirectory( machineIP, directory [ , mask ][ , includesubs ] )
In lib_fileservices there is the following:
dataset(FsFilenameRecord) RemoteDirectory(const varstring machineIP,const varstring dir,const varstring mask='*',boolean sub=false) : c,entrypoint='fsRemoteDirectory';
Question 2. Is this the same thing? It looks very similar, but appears to be calling a .so program if I am reading the documentation properly. If not, where is the STD library?
Thanks,
Don Baggett

Don,
Our ECL classes are taught using Open Source environments because the legacy system is deprecated and will be discontinued at some point.

The Standard Library is only in Open Source environments, not legacy pre-OSS environments.Question 1: Why don't I see a STD library?

Yes, it is the same function.Question 2. Is this the same thing?
