The '''OS_FileName$''' [[internal function]] does returns the real [[operating system]] path of a [[virtual path]]. In other words it converts a BR filename (A$) based on a [[Drive]] statement to the name used by the operating system outside of Business Rules!. This internal function does the opposite of [[BR_FileName$]].

In BR! a file name that is preceded with a colon (":") (i.e. ":C:\Test") is always interrupted as a operating system's file path and/or name. File specifications without a preceding colon will be processed as a BR file path and/or name (a.k.a. [[Virtual Path]])

====Syntax====

OS_FileName$(A$)

OS_FileName$("C:\Example Path\")

====History====
#Introduced in [[Business Rules!|BR!]] 4.18

====Comments and examples====
When a [[DRIVE]] statement included in the BRCONFIG.SYS file, or executed with EXECUTE CONFIG DRIVE .... remaps a location within BR, a system call that refers to a file on the remapped drive will fail unless the remapping parallels the operating system location. Using the OS_FILENAME$(A$) in the system call rather than just the BR name will allow the operating system to find the correct file.
