FID2NAME

Gets the name of the file given by file-ID
Syntax:
FID2NAME[/SYMBOL=sym][/LOG] [disk:]/FID=(f,s,v)

Puts the name of the file given by file-ID FID into DCL symbol specified by sym.
Default symbol is FILE_NAME.
Default disk is SYS$DISK: .
/LOG : write resulting filespec also to SYS$OUTPUT

Program source files:

  1. fid2name.for main program
  2. fid2name_table CLI table definition
  3. make_fid2name.com compile and link commands
  4. init_cli_for.for needed routines

To make the command available to DCL, either
$ FID2NAME :== $location:FID2NAME.EXE ,or
put FID2NAME.EXE into DCL$PATH .

Note: in VMS V8+ there will be a DCL lexical function (f$fid_to_name ?) doing the same as fid2name.exe
