I have noticed that it also effects the messages displayed by FILENAME
and LIBNAME statements regarding the path for example.  And I suppose
any other place where anything system specific would be displayed.

NOTE: Libref FT62F001 was successfully assigned as follows:
      Engine:        XPORT
      Physical Name: (system-specific file/path name)


This also effects the PATHAME function, try this...

options generic=0;
libname here '.';
libname here list;
%put NOTE: %sysfunc(pathname(here,L));


options generic=1;
%put NOTE: %sysfunc(pathname(here,L));
libname here list;

options generic=0;
%put NOTE: %sysfunc(pathname(here,L));
libname here list;


options generic=0;
filename here '.';
filename here list;
%put NOTE: %sysfunc(pathname(here,F));


options generic=1;
%put NOTE: %sysfunc(pathname(here,F));
filename here list;

options generic=0;
%put NOTE: %sysfunc(pathname(here,F));
filename here list;
