The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: When sorting to an output file, if you type in nine characters for the filename and the file already exists, WP 5.1 DOS will ask you if you want to replace the file and display all nine characters.

Steps to Duplicate:
1.      Type the word test on the document screen and save it with the filename 12345678.DOC.
2.      Press Ctrl-F9, 2, press Enter, type in 123456789.DOC, and press Enter. At this point you are asked if you want to replace the file 123456789.DOC. Solutions: This problem occurs in all releases of WP 5.1. The "Replace with:" prompt for Sort should display DOS naming conventions of eight characters for the filename instead of what was typed in by the user. The file does save with the correct eight character name.
