ABC: Assigning filenames to Alias files 2002-04-02 -- Maurice L. Pilotte Newsgroups: TopSpeed.Topic.Suggestions
Hello Trevor:

I have not tried this in C5.5, but this works in C5. The problem with simply
allowing you to enter a global variable in a NAME parameter for an alias
file is that the code generated assigns the file I/O to the FileManager
class of the aliased file.
Like I said, the following works in C5 and I don't know if there have been
any code changes in C5.5.
