This only works if the file exists.  One is thus required to script 
to test for the file, create it if it does not already exist, and 
then use the technique given.  My solution, albeit not constructed 
for the general case, is:

SETVAR _SD_HFS_ "![DIRNAME('!_SD_')]"
IF LEN('!_SD_HFS_') = 0 THEN
  SETVAR _SD_HFS_ "./"
ELSE
  SETVAR _SD_HFS_ "!_SD_HFS_" + "/"
ENDIF
SETVAR _SD_HFS_ "!_SD_HFS_" + "![BASENAME('!_SD_')]"
ECHO !_SD_HFS_

There is also a UDC provided in the HPPXUDC.PUB.SYS file called 
MPETOHFS.  The difficulty with this solution being my reluctance to 
employ UDCs within JOB files.

Regards,
Jim
