Summary
NOTE: This procedure is supported for compatibility with previous software and should not be
used for new development.
The FNAMECOMPARE procedure compares two file names within a local or network environment
to determine whether these file names refer to the same file or device. For example, one name
might be a logical device number, while the other reference might be a symbolic name. The file
names compared must be in the standard 12-word internal format that FNAMEEXPAND returns.
Syntax for C Programmers
This procedure does not have a C syntax, because it is superseded and should not be used for
new development. This procedure is supported only for compatibility with previous software.
