    (open filename "w")
    doesn't work when filename (including path) is too long.
    Has anyone experienced the same problem?
    What is filename limit?

    I use AutoCAD 2000.

    Thanks,

    Ibro V.

    Most likely, limit is equal to 256 symbols. As well as for any other string variables.

    It is a bug. The filename limit is 126 characters. The same applies
    to the lisp funtion (load).
    As a workaround you can use the (normally shorter) DOS-filename.

    I think Stephan is correct, 126 char's max.
    Be sure also to have " (quotes) around the filename to include any (spaces).
    e.g. (open "c:\\Program Files\\myfile.txt" "w")
