Disk File Names
Disk File Names
The syntax for a file name that identifies a disk file is:
system
specifies the name of the system on which the file resides. A system name
consists of a backslash (\) followed by one to seven alphanumeric characters; the
first alphanumeric character must be a letter.
volume
specifies the name of the volume on which the file resides. A volume name
consists of a dollar sign ($) followed by one to six alphanumeric characters; the
first alphanumeric character must be a letter.
subvol
specifies the name of the subvolume on which the file resides. A subvolume name
has one to eight alphanumeric characters; the first character must be a letter.
filename
specifies the name of a permanent disk file. A permanent-file name consists of
one to eight alphanumeric characters, the first of which must be a letter.
temp-filename
specifies the name of a temporary disk file. A temporary-file name consists of a
pound-sign (#) followed by four to seven numeric characters. The operating
system assigns names to temporary files.
The following is an example of a fully qualified disk file name:
\hdq.$mkt.reports.finance
[system.][[volume.]subvol.]filename
or
[system.][volume.]temp-filename
