I have been assuming that we are only talking about RPG rules here;
where RPG currently requires a file name or a format name, for the
RPG language to allow one to stand in for the other. The RPG compiler
would then make the substitution so the compile would proceed as
though the RPG programmer had actually coded the file name or format
name as usual.

Agreed. And the reason for my introduction that was left as part of the quoted message. I figure that although the RPG could change, there might still be issues with the DM which might be relevant to whatever direction would be chosen for "relaxing" any rules. If for instance the stated assumption of "no MFPF" were valid from an RPG perspective, then that would be different than if that assumption were false. Showing that the concept of *ONLY for a format was already in use might suggest a consistency if that means were used to implement similar via the RPG.
