Validating a File name

[gbailey@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi,

I'm currently working on a program that requires the user to input a file name
via a display file, in which to store data produced by a program. (This file can
later be used for transfer to a PC).

The problem I'm having at the moment is validating the name being input as being
in an acceptable name format for the AS/400. I've looked at a CL program to
CHKOBJ and MONMSG where the name is not valid, but can't help thinking there
must be another way. Would any API be applicable?

I appreciate any help you can give on the subject
