File name formats


[IMPORTANT: ]

IMPORTANT:

  • Storage medium names and the slot strings are case sensitive and must be entered in lower case. The system will display that the file or directory does not exist if you enter a storage name or the slot string in upper case.

  • Folder names and file names are case insensitive.


When you specify a file, enter the file name in one of the formats shown in Table 11. When you specify a directory, follow the rules for the drive and path arguments.
