Nondisk Device Names

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

Nondisk Device Names

The syntax for a file name that identifies a nondisk device is:

system

specifies the name of the system on which the device resides. A system name

consists of a backslash (\) followed by one to seven alphanumeric characters; the

first alphanumeric character must be a letter.

device-name

specifies the name of a device. A device name consists of a dollar sign ($)

followed by one to seven alphanumeric characters; the first alphanumeric

character must be a letter.

Because of C-series operating system limitations, a process running on a D-series

system cannot identify a remote C-series device name that has more than six

characters after the dollar sign.

qualifier

is an optional qualifier. It consists of a pound sign (#) followed by one to seven

alphanumeric characters; the first alphanumeric character must be a letter.
