I got to know that in VMS operating system there is an in-built feature "File version control", that will allow having multiple files with same file names but different version in single folder.
Would the same feature тАЬfile version controlтАЭ possible in HP-UX 11i?
Thanks in Advance

If you want to spend money you can get Clearcase with MVFS.

that are created transparently when a user edits and then saves a file, then no.
the unix-based tools, as a rule, require that the files in question first be placed in some sort of repository structure, then a checkout, edit, save and checkin process is used.
previous versions are available, as the repository copy stores the file as base file and a series of deltas. depending upon the product, the "base file" may be the "current" version, or the "original" version. The deltas are applied as required to retrieve whichever version of the file in required.

I'm not sure what the VMS version control s/w looks like, but RCS comes with HPUX. Very useful, if somewhat primitive version control software, but it does work. I use it religiously and it's saved my bacon on more than one occasion.

For the record, those would actually be:
a.;1
a.;2
a.;3
For example:
alp $ dire /colu = 1
Directory ALP$DKA100:[sms.junk]
a.;3
a.;2
a.;1
Total of 3 files.
VMS file specifications include a File Type
(".type"). It may be a null type ("."), but
it's always there.

More fun than that: Load VMS onto a disk on
some convenient HP Itanium system. _That_'ll
give you something to contemplate.
