Use the following format to name an OpenVMS Alpha file:
device[directory]filename.type;version
The entire file specification can be a maximum of 255 characters. The file type can be a maximum of 31 characters.
The following list describes the parts of an OpenVMS file name:
Specifies the disk drive name. If the device is not specified, the default provided in the SYSUAF (as defined on the DEC system) for that user is used.
Range: 1 to 15 characters.
Note: The CA XCOM Data Transport remote USERID field determines the SYSUAF USERID.
Specifies the directory and subdirectory information. If this information is not provided, defaults are selected as described under “device” above.
Note: CA XCOM Data Transport accepts angle brackets (< >) in OpenVMS file names, which are converted to square brackets on the DEC system.
Example:
PLAYERS1:<BRIDGES>CARD.DAT
is treated as equivalent to
PLAYERS1:[BRIDGES]CARD.DAT
Specifies the specific file within the directory. OpenVMS null file names are used if the file name and type are not provided.
Specifies the version of the file. The OpenVMS operating system can keep multiple versions of a file each time that file is saved. It is normal to omit this number to indicate that you want the most recent version of a file, the highest version number.
