Java and ODS-5 (extended) file naming?

» close window

The Question is:

 
A java class file expects to open a file name of
the form a.b.c.d but the openVMS filenaming
conventions does not allow file names of this form?
They however allow finames of type a.b$c$d etc.
I tried setting extended file naming convention
using the command
 
set process/parse=extended
 
.Even with this option filenames of the form a.b.c.d
are not allowed. Could you please suggest a way
out so that filenames of the form a.b.c.d can be
accessed from class files?
 
thank you.

The Answer is :

 
  Neither Java nor the underlying C run-time currently support ODS-5 file
  names (in V7.2-1 and prior), work is presently underway to add this.
 
  At present, you would need to translate and use a name that matches the
  ODS-2 file naming expectations.
