Hi Subodh,
First, this is not a version compatibility issue. And following is my
informal explanation (as I'm not one of the STAF development team):
Spaces in the path won't cause problems as long as the path is still no
harmful to the command's format ( a word will be harmful if it is one of the
PROCESS Start command's keywords, e.g. WorkDir, Var, Wait, UserName, ...etc)
as the parser will think of that word (and words following it till the next
keyword) as a new parameters for the command.
Anyway, the safest (and most consistent) way is to use CLC (Colon Length
Colon) format for any path, as described
here<http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAFUG.htm#HDROVFORM>
.
Hope this helps and is correct
