Description:
This feature lets you set the filename to any existing filePro filename. This way you do not have to keep selecting the filename during all the various operations on the filePro Plus Main Menu since it is retained for you, and this prompt is automatically skipped.
Setting the filename is useful during development stages. For some people it is also useful during runtime operations. In most cases, you would take care of "setting the filename" by running user menus which have the desired filenames pre-packaged on each command line. This is a small step of automation in that direction.
Choose "E - Set/Change Filename" from the filePro Plus Main Menu and enter in the filename you want. Some programs will let you change it internally, but for the most part, this allows you to work with one file alone until you reset the name or enter no name with Set/Change Filename.
Note: If PFNAME is set, then the value of PFNAME will be show at the top of all menus/submenus. This allows the programmer to use PFNAME in manners not originally intended, but nonetheless is very useful. You could use PFNAME to display the qualifer being used.
In Unix, where all commands specify -m $qualify by setting PFNAME = $qualify.
In Windows where PFQUAL has been set, set PFNAME = %pfqual%.
