FNAME32TOFNAME Procedure (Superseded)
Considerations
•
If a parameter is missing or if a bounds error occurs on a parameter, 0 is returned.
•
If the first eight characters of fname32 contain the name of the system on which
the procedure is called,
fname is returned in local format.
•
If the first eight characters of fname32 name a system other than the one on
which the procedure is called
and the next eight characters specify an eight-
character device name, FNAME32TOFNAME returns 0 to indicate that the file
name cannot be converted to internal format because it is too long.
•
It is the calling program’s responsibility to pass a valid DNS file name in fname32.
Invalid file names can cause unpredictable results.
