CMS files
CMS files have a file name , file type , and file mode . File names and file types can be
up to 8 characters long. The file mode corresponds to the access mode of the
minidisk.
Examples:
PROFILE EXEC A1
MYDOC LISTING A1
DNFPFS LISTPS B1
By convention, some file types have special meanings. For example, EXEC is the
file type for a file that contains executable statements, LISTING is the file type for
text files, and LISTPS is the file type for PostScript
®
files.
To view and manipulate files, use the FILELIST command. FILELIST is similar to
the
dir
command in Linux.
Examples of using FILELIST
1. To view all the files on your A-disk, type this command and press the Enter
key:
filelist
Result: You see something like this:
CHASTING FILELIST A0 V 169 Trunc=169 Size=253 Line=1 Col=1 Alt=0
Cmd Filename Filetype Fm Format Lrecl Records Blocks Date Time
CHASTING NETLOG A0 V 108 2132 53 10/15/03 16:02:30
KIJL0CMD HGENRPT A1 V 119 13 1 10/13/03 12:00:40
KIJL0CMD LOG A1 V 122 131 2 10/13/03 12:00:37
KIJL0CMD SCRIPT A1 V 81 454 4 10/13/03 12:00:37
REXEC HELPTCPI A1 V 79 133 2 10/13/03 10:26:11
NETSTAT HELPTCPI A1 V 79 749 9 10/13/03 10:25:31
2. In the “Cmd” column, you can type commands that are issued against the file
on that line.
Example: To edit a file in the filelist, type the XEDIT command in the “Cmd”
column:
CHASTING FILELIST A0 V 169 Trunc=169 Size=253 Line=1 Col=1 Alt=0
Cmd Filename Filetype Fm Format Lrecl Records Blocks Date Time
xedit CHASTING NETLOG A0 V 108 2132 53 10/15/03 16:02:30
KIJL0CMD HGENRPT A1 V 119 13 1 10/13/03 12:00:40
KIJL0CMD LOG A1 V 122 131 2 10/13/03 12:00:37
KIJL0CMD SCRIPT A1 V 81 454 4 10/13/03 12:00:37
REXEC HELPTCPI A1 V 79 133 2 10/13/03 10:26:11
NETSTAT HELPTCPI A1 V 79 749 9 10/13/03 10:25:31
3. Use “/” and “=” to avoid extra typing when you enter a command in
FILELIST. The “/” means “this file” and “=” can be used to repeat a file name,
file type, or file mode.
Example: To copy a file called REXEC HELPTCPI from minidisk A to minidisk
D, type this command and press the Enter key (typing over the other columns
is OK):
