@Lizette, I should have asked "in what environment?" I tend to think in C, but
not everyone does. <g>
fldata() -- search for it if the links do not work -- translates a UNIX FILE
pointer to a dataset name or path. It's a C (or C++) library function.
Again in C, if you have a file descriptor number like the ones for STDIN and so
forth that are passed to a command line program, you can translate one of those
to a name (and FILE pointer) by using the obscurely-documented w_ioctl()
static char stringForPath[FILENAME_MAX+1];
static const int Iocc_GetPathName = 17; // Absolute name @DOA// >From
BPXYIOCC
int rc = w_ioctl(filenum, Iocc_GetPathName, FILENAME_MAX+1, stringForPath);
Alternatively you can get the file number for a FILE pointer with fileno() and
then use w_ioctl() per the above.
