Mask '/' when generating a pdf file in Unix

[SuryaKiran]

Hello,

How do I mask special characters when generating a pdf file in Unix directory. My file name comes from a macro parameter. 

data test;
file_name="Test/File";
run;
/* Also files can have unclosed single quote or & or % */

proc sql;
select file_name into: file
from test ;
quit;

ods pdf file="/usr/&file..pdf";
proc print data=sashelp.class;
run;
ods pdf close;

%nrstr() works fine, but when I have '/' it doesn't mask and throws error Physical file doesn't exist. ('/' is treating as another directory in Unix)

I don't think this is a SAS issue.  You cannot make a file with a slash in its name.

What name do you want to use instead?

Disregard this, I totally forgot that file names with '/' can't be created. sometimes I am dumb
