FILE NAME EXPANSION
To refer to Tandem files, use either "local," or "network" file
names.
Local File Names
The local form identifies files on a single Tandem system. If
the file is not in your current subvolume or volume, you must
qualify the name with a specific subvolume or volume. The syntax
for local file names is:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| [$<volume-name>.][<subvolume>.]<disc-file-name> |
| |
| <volume-name> identifies a physical disc pack mounted |
| on a disc drive. This name may be up to |
| seven characters long. |
| |
| <subvolume-name> identifies a set of files on a disc, as |
| defined by the user. This name may be up |
| to eight characters long. |
| |
| <disc-file-name> identifies a particular file within the |
| subvolume. This name may be up to eight |
| characters long. |
| |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The following example illustrates a local file name:
$mkt.sales.tracking
"$mkt" is the volume name.
"sales" is the subvolume name.
"tracking" is the disc file name.
