NAMEOPTIONS

The NAMEOPTIONS option specifies whether the name you pass to the OPEN statement can contain File Handler options.

Syntax:

NAMEOPTIONS = { ON } { OFF }

Parameters:

ON
The name you pass to the OPEN statement can contain File Handler options enclosed in round or square brackets. For example:
fil1[PRINTER]
OFF
The name you pass to the OPEN statement cannot contain File Handler options.

Properties:

Default: OFF

Comments:

If set to OFF, the brackets and the characters they enclose are considered as part of the file name.

Note:
  • This parameter can be set globally only; that is under the tag [XFH-DEFAULT]. You cannot set the parameter for an individual file.
  • This parameter is provided for compatibility with older products - you should use it only if you require compatibility with Micro Focus Workbench V4.0.
