The **FileNameValue **property contains the constant value specified by the managed file's NAME attribute. The FileNameValue property supplies the managed file's DOS filename for error messages or other display purposes.

The GetName method returns the DOS file name.

**Implementation:**

You must initialize either the FileNameValue property or the FileName property (but not both) after the Init method is called, or within a derived Init method specific to the managed file. See the //Conceptual Example//.

**Example:**

**PROGRAM**

** INCLUDE('ABFILE.INC')            !declare FileManager class**

** MAP                              !program map**

** END**

**GlobalErrors ErrorClass           !declare GlobalErrors object**

**Access:Client CLASS(FileManager)  !derive Access:Client object**

**Init      PROCEDURE               !prototype Access:Client init**

**              END**

**Client    FILE,DRIVER('TOPSPEED'),NAME('Client.TPS')!constant filename**

**Record     RECORD,PRE()**

**ID          LONG**

**Name        STRING(20)**

**           END**

**          END**

** CODE**

** GlobalErrors.Init**

** Access:Client.Init**

** !program code**

**Access:Client.Init  PROCEDURE        !initialize Access:Client object**

** CODE**

** PARENT.Init(GlobalErrors)           !call the base class Init method**

** SELF.File      &= Client            !point Access:Client to Client file**

** SELF.FileNameValue = 'Client.TPS'   !set constant DOS filename**
