Static Filename Assignment

With static filename assignment, the filename is specified in the SELECT clause as a literal:

 select filename
     assign to literal.

If the filename of the physical file that you are creating contains spaces, the filename is automatically surrounded by quotes for you.

In the following example, opening stockfile causes the file warehs.buy in the current directory to be opened:

 select stockfile
     assign to "warehs.buy".
