RE: Periods in filenames

I have a lot of old S/36 files on our system.  I merely use an
EXTFILE('QS36F/X.FILE') on the F Spec with a different name as the program
file name.  Or course, if the file is externally described (not many are),
then you also need to have a file in your library list with that program
file name.

Subject: Periods in filenames


We've been having difficulty accessing some customer files 
with periods in the filenames (from an ILE RPG program).

I'm not the one who ran into the problems, so I don't know 
the details (although I'm thinking the period is being 
interpreted as a member name separator), but does anybody 
have the slightest idea what's going on, and how to deal 
with it?
