File names

Each file cataloged in BS2000 is uniquely identified by its path name. This consists of a file name specified by the user and a prefix assigned by the system; the prefix is equivalent to the access path in the pubset.

A distinction must be made between the following terms: path name, fully qualified file name, partially qualified file name and internal file name. The term “tempfile name” may also be used for the name of a temporary file.
