James,As you discovered, RPG (no version) likes (recognizes) periods in the F-spec name, etc.
As Rob said, this is probably a hold over from S/36 work (I deal with it every day - sigh). There are only two ways to compile a program whose name on disk is AR.M001:
midrange.com
* Create a compile CLP with OVRDBF, or
* Create a library with these same objects using standard (RPG)
name, such that AR.M001 is ARM001 in the library.
At least, those are the only work arounds that I have come up with. I
usually go with the CLP.

With this: FAR.M001 IF E K DISK C READ AR.M001 SEU flags the lines as errors, and the compiler gives: 1 FAR.M001 IF E K DISK ======> aaaaaaaa ======> bbbbbbbbbb *RNF0289 20 a 000100 Entry contains data that is not valid; only valid data is used.*RNF2120 40 b 000100 External descriptions for file ARnot found; file is ignored. 3 C READ AR.M001 ======> aaaaaaaaaaaa *RNF0289 20 a 000300 Entry contains data that is not valid; only valid data is used.and the compiler seems to think the filename is AR, and so it fails to find the file.-- JHHL
