4.10.5 List Catalog into a File
This request/response pair is used to list file attributes of a file or files into an ASCII text
catalog file. A Data Out request must have been made previously to specify the pathname
of the catalog file. The catalog file can be transferred to the host processor by the Read File
request.
The catalog file content varies according to information requested.
Wild card characters can be used to specify the file(s) to be cataloged. Wildcard
charactgers include * and ?.
Example:
NET>*>*.DB (list all volumes and .DB files on the NET)
NET>A>*.DB (list all .DB files on directories starting with A)
NET>M??N>*.* (list all files in directories starting with M
and ending with N)
The —M(ATCH) option uses wildcards *, ?, and sets[]. The sets can include a group of
characters that would match according to what is defined in the sets.
Example:
a[bcd]e would match abe, ace, or ade.
Using wildcards to list directories, you can only use up to four (4) characters (e.g., &10?).
Wildcards can be used for directory and volume names across the Network Gateway.
