A folder_spec refers to one or more folders in a Rational Synergy database. It can have any of these forms:
This refers to a single folder by its folder identifier. In a DCM initialized database, this can use the forms shown. In a non-DCM initialized database, only the first form is valid.
This refers to the folder with the specified number that was created in the current database. For example, 34 refers to folder 34 created in the current database.
where database_id is a DCM database identifier where the folder was created, dcm_delimiter is the current DCM delimiter (# is the default), and folder_number is the folder number. For example, B#543 refers to folder number 543 created in database B.
This refers to a collection of folders specified as a comma-separated list of folder_id elements. For example, B#543,23 refers to folder 543 created in database B and folder 23 created in the current database.
This refers to a collection of folders specified as a range. The range includes the folder specified by the first folder_id to the second folder_id, inclusive. The starting folder and ending folder of the range must be for the same creating database. For example, 34-37 refers to folders 34, 35, 36, and 37 created in the current database. However, A#34-B#37 is invalid because the starting folder is for database A while the ending folder of the range is for database B.
