How to specify file or EDIR names on FILI cards: Examples

Disk files:

            DEC / VMS                          UNIX
 
1  FILI 'HADR.NATIVE'                 native files not recommended
2  FILI 'HADR.EPIO | EPIO'            FILI '{cwd}/hadr.epio'
3  FILI 'HADR.DATA | EPIO'            FILI '{cwd}/hadr.data | EPIO'
4  FILI 'AL$EDIR:AB1234.EDIR'         FILI '/aleph/edir/ab1234.edir'

Explanation:

1. Complete specification. `` .NATIVE'' defines the file format.
2. ``| EPIO'' can be omitted here because the format is already specified in the data set name. The vertical bar separates the file name from the parameters.
3. ``DATA'' is non-standard and not recommended. In such a case, the format must be given as a parameter: `` | EPIO''. Please not that this EPIO parameter must be UPPER CASE, even on UNIX machines.
