XFD*-MAP

XFD-MAP tells the runtime system to associate certain filenames with a particular XFD. This enables you to use one XFD for many different files. You can use XFD-MAP to add or replace the existing value depending on the setting of the XFD-MAP-RESET variable. For more information, see the information regarding the XFD-MAP-RESET variable.

The XFD-MAP variable has this syntax:

XFD-MAP   [pattern = base-xfd-name]  ...

where pattern consists of any valid filename characters and may include "*" or "?". These two characters are special:

* matches any number of characters

? matches a single occurrence of any character

Examples

XFD-MAP CUST????=CUST

matches both CUST0001 and CUSTOMER and causes them to be associated with the XFD "cust.xfd".

XFD-MAP CUST*1=CUSTOMER

matches CUST001 and CUST0001 and CUST00001and causes them to be associated with the XFD "customer.xfd".
