C_TMPNAME()
DESCRIPTION
C_TMPNAME() builds a file name consisting of random numbers and
letters that can be used as a temporary file name. An optional
mask may be supplied to specify how to build the file name.
SYNTAX
C_TMPNAME([mask])
PARAMETERS
mask (C) is a mask to specify how the file name should look when
returned. The mask allows only certain characters in the file name
to be supplied. The mask can be up to 12 characters in length and
must contain the question mark (?) for every character that a
random number/letter should be supplied (i.e. "????????.TMP"). If
mask is not specified, the default of all characters (????????.???)
is used.
RETURNS
C_TMPNAME() returns a file name built from random numbers and
letters using the specified mask, if any.
