If a file is in a library, the SEARCH function returns
the file's pathname using the following syntax:
Syntax

For example:

Other ABL functions make use of this syntax. The LIBRARY function
parses the pathname and returns the name of the library (in this
example, /usr/dictionary/dictionary.pl). If the argument to LIBRARY is
not in the form library-pathname<<member-name>>,
the LIBRARY function returns the Unknown value (?).
This is also true of the MEMBER function, which
parses the pathname and returns the name of the member file (in
this example, dict.r).
For more information about the SEARCH,
LIBRARY, and MEMBER
functions, see ABL Reference.
