FILE                   PSAM/DAPDB Commands                   FILE



NAME
     file - select source file

SYNOPSIS
     file [ <filename> ]

DESCRIPTION
     The file command selects a file for use with  the  list  and
     stop  commands. If a file name is provided a test is made to
     ensure that read access to the file can be obtained  and  if
     so  the file becomes the current file. If the named file has
     been modified since the currently executing program was com-
     piled  a  warning message is displayed but the file is still
     selected.

     If no  argument  is  supplied  the  name  of  the  currently
     selected file is displayed.

     The file command searches for the  file  <filename>  in  the
     following  way. If an absolute file name (one beginning with
     '/') or a filename relative to the current working directory
     (beginning  with  './' or '../') or a filename relative to a
     user's home  directory  (beginning  with  '~/'  or  '~<user-
     name>/')   is  specified  then  the  named  file  is  sought
     directly. Otherwise the file is sought in each of the direc-
     tories  specified  in  the  current  Source_path environment
     variable.

     Subject to  the  availability  of  the  relevant  diagnostic
     information the current file, if found, is selected automat-
     ically in the following cases:

     If DAP program execution halts within  a  FORTRAN-PLUS  pro-
     cedure the source file in which that procedure is defined is
     selected. This file is also selected by the message command.

     If a FORTRAN-PLUS procedure is selected with one of the pro-
     cedure, up, down or top commands the file in which that pro-
     cedure is defined is selected.
