I'm trying to find the manual (by full name or number) that provides
precise definitions about pathnames (hfs and zfs) for the unix subsystem
on zos. Specifically, I'm interested in knowing the maximum length:
1) Entire path from '/' on down
2) Maximum number of characters in a file in a directory
3) Which characters are valid for a file name.
Thanks,
Sam
1. 1023
2. 255
3. a-z, A-Z, 0-9, period (.), underscore ( _ ), hyphen ( - )
are allowed for 'portable' file names; some other characters
are allowed if you don't care about portability, but I think
you are asking for trouble
Check out the UNIX System Services User's Guide (chapters 16 and 17)
