Variable in physical path in transaction FILE

We are looking to physical / logical files using transaction FILE.

One of the questions we have is that when we put in a path - for example /vol.test/AppArea/Data, if we transport this from QA to production we have to "open the system" and change /vol.test to /vol.prod

We are wondering if there is a way to use a variable in the path for the physical file so that when we transport from QA to production the variable will adjust to the correct path

Is your question related to BO? It does not appear like that.

No, sorry not directly.  Only that we want to use FILE in order to direct the output of our OpenHub.

Do you have a more appropriate area for this question, as I do understand it is more general.

Sorry for the mis-post

I believe you are referring to 'reserved words', which can be used within the definitions in FILE, <SYSID> and <HOST> for example.  These are replaced at runtime so /usr/sap/<SYSID>/interface would resolve to /usr/sap/DEV/interface on your development system, if DEV was the SID. 

There are also <PARAM> values that can set by the executing ABAP program using function calls.
