Naming Conventions—HP NonStop (Tandem)

Use the following format to name a HP NonStop file:

\<system>.<volume>.<subvolume>.[set the File Name variable]

All of these components are restricted to eight characters, except as indicated below.

The following list describes the parts of an HP NonStop file name:

system

Specifies the system name. Up to seven characters.

volume

Specifies the disk name.

subvolume

Specifies a directory name.

filename

Specifies the name of your file.

Example:

The following example uses a volume of $CLX12, a subvolume of SCI, and a file name of FILE1:

$CLX12.SCI.FILE1

The HP NonStop file system is not a tree structure. Each volume.subvolume is independent, that is, it has no subvolumes above or below.
