ZDNS-DDL-DNSFNAME
is used to pass Guardian 90 file names across the DNS programmatic interface.
DNS uses a 32-byte field to represent file names rather that the 24-byte field
typically used for this purpose. DNS uses a 32-byte field for the following reasons:
DNS must store Guardian 90 file names this way internally to allow such
names to collate in alphabetical order rather than by system number.
DNS needs to be able to represent file names with eight-character device
names (including the leading “$”) in network form.
ZDNS-DDL-DNSFNAME has the following structure:
def ZDNS-DDL-DNSFNAME type ZSPI-DDL-FNAME32.
