Spaces in LotusScript® file names

All LotusScript® routines preserve embedded and trailing spaces in file names. However, some LotusScript® file handling routines preserve leading spaces from file name arguments, while others remove leading spaces.

These routines preserve leading spaces:

• Dir
• Filedatetime
• Kill
• Open
• Setfileattr

These routines remove leading spaces:

• Chdir
• Filelen
• Mkdir
• Name
• Rmdir

To ensure that all file handling routines are able to correctly handle files, file names should not have leading spaces.
