SSL3 on OpenVMS V8.4-2L3

We recently updated a customer to OpenVMS V8.4-2l3 and SSL3 v3.0-13 after many conversations with VSI as to which version of SSL to run.
We have a cron job that produces an xml file and uses sftp to push it to the VMS system. In the script it did a "cd pipeline_data" which was a system logical for where the file needs to go. This doesn't work as SSL doesn't appear to understand logicals. I had to change it to "cd /lda105/pipeline_data" to get it to work.
This breaks my rule that no script/com file should have a real device name except for sys$manager:logicals.com. I put a remark in the logicals.com to remind me of the new dependency if that logical changes.
