# File Handling

File Naming Conventions |

Actually, PxPlus does not impose any naming rules for creating or accessing files. While some naming conventions (specific prefixes/suffixes) may be required by the OS or to interact with non-PxPlus applications, PxPlus developers do maintain full control over how their PxPlus-based files are named.

There are two exceptions: NOMADS defaults to an .EN extension (English) for naming library files, but this may be changed by the developer. A .PVC extension is used in Object-Oriented PxPlus to define and/or access a class definition.

See PxPlus Search Rules for locating file names.
