FILI/FILM data cards are used to give input filename or input cartridge number.

interpretation is as follow:

Filenames starting with A or I and ending with .EDIR or .EPIO (in upper case) are interpreted as official data or edir files.

Any other name is not modified.

FILI 'ab1234 | EPIO'

will try to open the file ab1234.EPIO in the user area.

FILI '/aleph/data/ab1234.epio | EPIO'

will try to open this file.

FILI 'AB1234 | EPIO'

FILI 'AB1234.EPIO'

FILI 'AB1234.EPIO | EPIO'

will try to open the file $(ALDATA)/ab1234.epio

FILI 'AB1234 | EDIR'

FILI 'AB1234.EDIR'

FILI 'AB1234.EDIR | EDIR'

will try to open the file $(ALEDIR)/ab1234.edir

FILI 'ALDATA | EPIO | CART AB1234.1.SL'

will try to find the file $(ALSTAGE)/ab1234.epio . If it does not find it ,it will stage the AB1234 cartridge under the name $(ALSTAGE/ab1234.epio

FILI 'R0009876.NAT | NAT | SMCF I12345.1.AL'

will try to find the file $(ALSTAGE)/i12345.native or will stage the cartridge under this name.

FILM 'AL$DATA:AB1234.EPIO | EPIO'

will try to open the file $(ALDATA)/ab1234.epio

FILM 'AB1435.EPIO |EPIO|GIME PUBXU 435'

In this case the FILM card is understood as 'ALDATA | EPIO | CART AB1435.1.SL'
