Guardian Procedure Calls Reference Manual

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.
