RE: ODS-5 Filenames
Cheers Craig. I'll go back to Sanface and see if they're willing to change the code at source.

ODS-5 Filenames
I'm using TXT2PDF from Sanface Software. We've converted some of our disks to ODS-5, but now find that the files generated from uppercase filenames are created in lower case. The user process has the PARSE_STYLE parameter set to TRADITIONAL, so that files are created in uppercase by default, but this appears to make no difference within Perl. This is the code :- $output.=$out; $verbose and print Changing to uppercase\n; $output=uc($out); open (OUT, $output) || die $producer1: couldn't open output file $output\n; And the output is :- Processing SYS$TEMP:TEST_20050209_BFAD.TXT file Processing VMS file Changing to uppercase Writing TEST_20050209_BFAD.PDF file But the file created is in lowercase :- Directory SY0:[LIVE.TMP] test_20050209_bfad.pdf;11 14/529-FEB-2005 14:43:40.30 TEST_20050209_BFAD.TXT;2 4/529-FEB-2005 14:08:36.38 Any ideas?

Perl should be uppercasing filespecifications as they are read in, so having the file in lowercase should not be an issue. -John [EMAIL PROTECTED] Personal Opinion Only
