a) appending / prefixing the actual file name to the output file name would be way easier than inserting into the yn string. Try f=a FILENAME etc. If not happy with this, construct the f variable with a few substr() calls...
b) feel free to adjust the selection criteria to whatever you desire, but note that your above idea would not yield identical results, as $2 starts at char position 6 in your sample.

pathconv
pathconv(1F) FMLI Commands pathconv(1F)
NAME
pathconv - search FMLI criteria for filename
SYNOPSIS
pathconv [-f] [-v alias]
pathconv [-t] [-l] [-nnum] [-v string]
DESCRIPTION
The pathconv function converts an alias to its pathname. By default, it takes the alias as a string from the standard input.
OPTIONS
-f If -f is specified, the full path will be returned (this is the default).
-t If -t is specified, pathconv will truncate a pathname specified in string in a format suitable for display as a frame title. This
format is a shortened version of the full pathname, created by deleting components of the path from the middle of the string until
it is under DISPLAYW -- 6 characters in length, and then inserting ellipses ( ... ) between the remaining pieces. Ellipses are
also used to show truncation at the ends of the strings if necessary, unless the -l option is given.
-l If -l is specified, < and > will be used instead of ellipses ( ... ) to indicate truncation at the ends of the string generated by
the -t option. Using -l allows display of the longest possible string while still notifying users it has been truncated.
-nnum If -n is specified, num is the maximum length of the string (in characters) generated by the -t option. The argument num can be
any integer from 1 to 255.
-valias |string If the -v option is used, then alias or string can be specified when pathconv is called. The argument alias must be an
alias defined in the alias_file named when fmli was invoked. The argument string can only be used with the -t option and must be a
pathname.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: A sample that uses pathconv to construct the menu title. It searches for MYPATH in the alias_file named when fmli command.
Here is a menu descriptor that uses pathconv to construct the menu title. It searches for MYPATH in the alias_file named when fmli was
invoked:
menu=`pathconv -v MYPATH/ls`
.
.
.
where there is a line in alias_file that defines MYPATH. For example, MYPATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/bin.
Here is a menu descriptor that takes alias from the standard input.
menu=`echo MYPATH/ls | pathconv`
.
.
.
