Filename (Short) Variable

[KGrace]

I would like to be able to incorporate the framemaker file name into the title 
of my document.  If I make use of the variable Filename (Short) I am able to 
get the results that I want with the exception of the .fm that comes along 
for the ride.  Does anyone know of an alternate method of getting the filename 
returned WITHOUT the .fm extension.

Filename (Short) Variable

I would like to be able to incorporate the framemaker file name into the title 
of my document.  If I make use of the variable "Filename (Short)" I am able to 
get the results that I want with the exception of the ".fm" that comes along 
for the ride.  Does anyone know of an alternate method of getting the filename 
returned WITHOUT the .fm extension.

Cross References Across Multiple Books

[kgrace]

I have a situation in which I would like to create several books that
are related.  These books in their own right are going to result in many
files for each book.  I was wondering if there is a way to
cross-reference between these books (output as PDF files) if they are in
different subdirectories i.e., I would like for each book to reside in
its own subdirectory.  I have tried testing the cross-references and
they only seem to work when the files/books all reside under the same
directory.  If this is the case this is going to make for a directory
that is bloated.  Any ideas on being able to make the cross references
work across various subdirectories?

Multiple Volume Documentation Set

[kgrace]

Has anyone used Framemaker for the purpose of generating a complete
reference set i.e., extensive use of volumes?  I would like to see if
someone can provide me with some direction on setting up a file
structure and/or any gotchas awaiting me for setting up this
documentation.

I am faced with a project in which I think Framemaker was designed.  To
this point I have used framemake for the purpose of developing one book
but never multiple books i.e., using the volume feature for each of the
books.  This project is going to require that I produce a series of
books ie., maintenance procedures, safety procedures, code compliance
issues etc.,  for multiple plants/locations.  I would guess I am going
to need to develop about 10 volumes and to further complicate things
these volumes would need to be developed for multiple locations.  

My initial thought was to develop these documents and make extensive use
of variables (for the purpose of inserting the various plant names where
required) and conditional text to put information that is specific to
the particular plants.  As I mentioned I would be interested in any
information on doing a large project like this.  I have not been able to
find much online for this type of project.  Any help is greatly
appreciated
