Define a physical directory for a data file (only for files defined programmatically).

// Find out the name and full path of the Customer data file
NameAndFullPath is string
NameAndFullPath = Customer.Directory + "\" + Customer.PhysicalName + Customer.Extension
// NameAndFullPath corresponds to "C:\MyFiles\Customer.Fic"
