Re: Retrive file name from full path -- MIDRANGE-L

I'd not count on the period being there, or that the extension is 3
characters. Maybe back in the Windows 3.1 days. :)

The scan should work for the last /, but I would also convert \ to / in the
string using the %scanrpl BIF first, then look for the last /. You never
know how the data will get in there.

I would use %Scan in RPG free to do this. This would return the position
you are looking for. For example, look for the ‘.’ and look at the
position and then scan left for the ‘/’ plus one would be the start of the
file name. The position where you found the ‘.’ Plus 3 would your full
extension
