FileSlashReduction()

This is an inbuilt function function provided by PPWIZARD.

The purpose of this routine is to remove any (or at least some) duplicated file slashes that were probably generated due to user error or lack of control over some input data.

This routine takes the following parameter(s):

1. File Name
   This is the name of the file which should have duplicated slashes removed. The updated value is returned by this function.

2. Mode
   This describes how duplicated slashes are removed:

   • "" means use value configured via /FILESR.

   • "NONE" means leave all duplicates alone.

   • "ALL" means remove all duplicates.

   • "UNC" means remove all duplicates (except any at the start of the filename). I don't believe this is required under UNIX as everything under unix gets mounted (let me know if I'm wrong).

email me  any feedback, additional information or corrections.
