CBL_FILENAME_CONVERT

Converts a filename between space-terminated and null-terminated format.

Syntax:

call 'CBL_FILENAME_CONVERT' using  fnc-func
                                   filename-in
                                   filename-out
                         by value  fnc-in-length
                         by value  fnc-out-length
                         returning fnc-ret

Parameters

fnc-func
Using call prototype (see Key): cblt-x1-compx
Picture: pic x comp-x.
filename-in
Using call prototype (see Key): pic x(n).
Picture: pic x(n).
filename-out
Using call prototype (see Key): pic x(n).
Picture: pic x(n).
fnc-in-length
Using call prototype (see Key): cblt-os-size
Picture: pic x(4) comp-5 or pic x(8) comp-5 (64-bit native only).
fnc-out-length
Using call prototype (see Key): cblt-os-size
Picture: pic x(4) comp-5 or pic x(8) comp-5 (64-bit native only).
fnc-ret
Using call prototype (see Key): cblt-rtncode

On Entry:

fnc-func
Defines how the conversion will proceed:
Bit 0
0 Convert from space-terminated to null-terminated format.
1 Convert from null-terminated to space-terminated format.
Bit 1
0 If bit 0 is set to 0, the length of filename-in is determined using the space-termination character at the end of the filename.
1 If bit 0 is set to 0, fnc-in-length exactly determines the length of filename-in. All characters are treated as part of the filename.
Bit 2
0 Do not fold filename to upper case.
1 Fold filename to upper case.
Bit 3
0 Behavior determined by bits 0 to 2.
1 Bits 0 to 2 are ignored, and the length of filename-in is determined by scanning the filename as a space-terminated filename. You can also specify a list of other termination characters; see below.
Bits 4-7
Reserved. Must be set to zero.
filename-in
Input filename.
filename-out
If bit 3 of fnc-func is set to 1, a list of characters that if encountered unquoted terminate the filename. If there are no additional characters, then a null pointer should be passed.
filename-in-length
Length of filename-in.
filename-out-length
If bit 3 of fnc-func is set to 0, the size of the buffer for the converted filename.

If bit 3 of fnc-func is set to 1, the number of characters in filename-out (if supplied).

On Exit:

filename-out
If bit 3 of fnc-func is set to 0, the converted filename. If filename-in is invalid, this parameter is set to an empty filename (a null if bit 0 was set to 0, else a space).
fnc-ret
If 0, an error occurred, otherwise, the length of the space terminated name that was either input or output.

Comments:

A space-terminated filename consists of a filename terminated by a space character. If the filename contains any embedded spaces then they should be escaped by including the whole filename between a pair of double quotes.

A null-terminated filename has any double quotes stripped out, but retains any embedded spaces.
