Partial File Names
Subvolume Name
The subvolume name, such as MYSUBVOL, is the name of the set of files, on the disk
volume, within which the file resides. The subvolume name can contain from one to
eight alphanumeric characters, the first of which must be alphabetic.
On a D-series system, if you specify the volume name, you must also specify the
subvolume name. If you omit the volume name, specifying the subvolume name is
optional.
File ID
The file ID, such as MYFILE, is the identifier of the file in the subvolume. The file ID
can contain from one to eight alphanumeric characters, the first of which must be
alphabetic.
The file ID is required.
Partial File Names
A partial file name contains at least the file ID, but does not contain all the file-name
parts. When you specify a partial file name, the operating system or other process fills
in the missing file-name parts by using your current default values. Following are the
optional file-name parts and their default values:
