fpt Reference: FILE NAME

fpt and WinFPT Reference Manual - Command-line Commands

FILE NAME

Syntax:

!% FILE NAME [:] [:] <symbol> [ , <symbol> ... ]

Function:

Specifies that the named sub-program arguments are file names. fpt uses this information when inserting subroutines or functions to translate file name formats (See INSERT SUBROUTINE TO TRANSLATE FILE NAMES and INSERT FUNCTION TO TRANSLATE FILE NAMES).

Names which contain exotic characters such as '%', ':' or '#' (which are all legal on some systems) must be written as quoted strings.

The %FILE NAME command must be written in code within the scope of declaration of the variable.

Where to Use this Command

Configuration file, config.fsp	No
Specification (fsp) files, *.fsp	No
Interactively, to FPT> prompt	No

Default

By default arguments are assumed not to be file names.
