Code:

":3:testfile" SDOPENWR

which fails, instead of

Code:

":3:/testfile" SDOPENWR

which works.

The partition specifier is entirely optional, you can omit it and in that case "testfile" SDOPENWR will do the trick. In fact, in general I recommend you omit the partition specifier in your code, and let the user decide which partition wants to use for your data. Even with more than one partition in a card you can set the current partition, then you don't need to specify it anymore on the file name. By default the first partition is accessed until another partition is made current.
The partition specifier in the name is only useful when you use a partition but want to do one or two operations in another one, and changing the current partition is too much of a hassle.
Also, file names can be idents (with single quotes, but they are subject to the restrictions of variable names in the calc, use strings to have more freedom), so you can do 'myvar' DUP RCL SWAP SDSTO to backup 'myvar' to a file 'myvar' in the current directory.
