&DRIFT: GET-TRACK
The dataset name. The name should be enclosed in single
quotes if it
contains any of the following: blank, comma, colon, double quote,
equal sign. This means in practice that the quotes are required on
a Vax for all dataset access outside the home disk. On VM/CMS, the
blanks between file-name and file-type (and perhaps file-mode) may
be replaced by dots, thus avoiding the need to add the quotes. On
Unix systems, the name should be surrounded by double quotes so as
to avoid case conversion of the file name.
An identification string of at most 8 characters. This string is used
by the various dataset commands and it is also needed if you keep
more than one object (member) of the same type (cell, gas, track etc)
in the same dataset.
