File and directory names
Double quotes around filenames are never allowed in the parameter for the
REXX functions. In contrast to this, OS/2 commands always need double
quotes around filenames if the name contains blanks or other special
chars. This is also true for directory names.
The conclusion from this scenario:
Always save filenames and directory names inside your program without
double quotes. Then use a function to add quotes to any filename(s) before
using the name(s) as parameter(s) for OS/2 commands executed outside your
program (see the routine ConvertNameToOS in the Template for a REXX
program)
