Is the following a legal useage of a character function in F77?

OPEN(UNIT=2,FILE=GETNAM('FOR002'),STATUS='UNKNOWN')

where the declaration for GETNAM() is

CHARACTER*80 FUNCTION GETNAM(NAMEIN)

GETNAM returns a filename from an environment variable of the name
NAMEIN if it is found or, if not found, the value of NAMEIN.
