OpenVMS utilities and commands with default support have had little or no modification to take advantage of Extended File Specifications features. These utilities and commands are expected to handle most of the attributes of extended file specifications (such as new characters and deep directory structures) correctly. However, issues with case sensitivity and case blindness (such as converting lowercase characters to uppercase) may occur. In contrast with utilities that have full support, utilities with default support rely on DID and FID abbreviation offered by RMS to handle long file specifications. As a result, these utilities are subject to the following restrictions related to DID and FID abbreviation: o Matching operations in an environment where FID abbreviation is used may not always work as expected. For example, wildcard matching operations may not capture all target file names because the long file names may be represented in their numeric FID abbreviation form. This restriction specifically applies to matching operations that are performed outside of RMS. o Wildcards and sticky defaults cannot be used with a FID abbreviation. For example, the following commands are illegal: $ DIRECTORY a[1,2,3]*.txt $ COPY a[1,2,3].txt *.txt2 Because FID abbreviations are a unique numeric representation of one file, they cannot be used to represent or match any other file. o Creating a file using a FID abbreviation is illegal.
