By default, AEST creates a translated image unless the command line specifies qualifiers that are incompatible (the /AUDIT qualifier, for example), and as long as AEST does not encounter error conditions that prevent image translation. If AEST issues ERROR or FATAL messages, it does not create a translated image. If you do not provide a file specification, AEST writes the translated image to the current directory and names it by appending _AV to the input image's file name. For example, if the name of the OpenVMS Alpha image is PROGRAM.EXE, the default name of the translated image is PROGRAM_AV.EXE. NOTE A file name cannot exceed 39 characters in length. Because of this limitation, AEST truncates any input image file name that exceeds 36 characters to append the characters _AV.
