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_RESETS 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 have special meanings in the pattern:

* matches any number of characters
? matches a single occurrence of any character

For example:

CUST???? matches CUST0001 and CUSTOMER;
does not match CUST001 or CUST00001
CUST* matches all of the above
CUST*1 matches CUST001 and CUST0001 and CUST00001;
does not match CUSTOMER
*OMER matches CUSTOMER;
does not match CUST001 or CUST0001
