How does jBASE figure out where a file is located?

Question

I am working with customer using jBASE and I checked the MD item to determine where the file existed and there was no MD item for the file. How does jBASE determine where the file is?

Answer 1

jBASE uses the locations as defined in the JEDIFILEPATH environment variable to find your files:

But anything defined in the MD/VOC takes precedence.
