First, you should not leave important info only in the header line,
since not all mailers and mail editors provide the subject line.

Both these functions are for manipulating filenames.  The stcgfn()
gives the "node" part of the file name, the stcgfp() gives the path
part.  Ie:

	full name	DH0:foo/foo2/foo.ext

	Path=DH0:foo/foo2
	Node=foo.ext

SAS/Lattice have several functions for building up and picking apart
filenames and wildcards that are very useful.
