This article explains how you can destinguish two files with the same name, but in different locations.

Problem:

Can Revolve handle two or more files with the same name? For example:

  WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.    
    copy c:\\copydirectory 1\\abc.cpy 
    copy c:\\copydirectory 2\\abc.cpy

Resolution:

Revolve will enable you to have files with the same name as long as the program explicitly defines the two locations. For example: 

Procedure division.    
copy GAME.
copy C:\\source\\REVOLVE\\SAMPLEAPP\\COPYLIB\\copy2\\game.

GAME.cpy will be found using the search path c:\\source\\Revolve\\sampleapp\\copylib; game is found in C:\\source\\REVOLVE\\SAMPLEAPP\\COPYLIB\\copy2.

This is what it looks like in Project Manager: 

GAME.CPY    copybook    Loaded ..\\REVOLVE\\SAMPLEAPP\\COPYLIB\\    04/26/01    01:34:00 AM
GAME.CPY    copybook    Loaded ..\\SAMPLEAPP\\COPYLIB\\COPY2\\      09/23/08    08:11:19 AM
