This option is not available natively in FrameMaker. A workaround is available in the context of FM->PDF or FM->PS workflows: as part of a one-time setup, you can place the filename variable in a text frame, add short PostScript code fragments before and after it, and tag the text frame as PS code. The PS fragments will remove the extension and control the formatting of the filename. If this approach is applicable, I can send you (or anyone else interested) a .fm file demonstrating the workaround.
