Listing the Files Stored (SHOW)
Whenever you store a set of files, the system displays the total number of files stored at
your terminal. If there was an error, it also displays the number and names of files not
stored and the reason each was not stored. Use the SHOW parameter and its options to
display the names and additional information about the files stored and to list them on
your system printer as well as at your terminal.
Internally, the STORE program writes information about the files it stores to a file with the
formal file designator SYSLIST. It prints file information at your terminal by equating
SYSLIST with the standard listing device for your session (your terminal). You can redirect
the file information to another file or device by issuing a FILE command that assigns
SYSLIST to that device or file. For example, you might want to redirect the file information
to a disk file so that you can keep it online for your records.
To write STORE information to the disk file, SHOWFILE, enter:
:FILE SYSLIST=SHOWFILE;DEV=DISC
To print information on the files you stored at the system printer as well as at your
terminal, use the SHOW=OFFLINE option:
:FILE T;DEV=TAPE
:STORE @.OPERATOR.SYS;*T;SHOW=OFFLINE
To redirect the OFFLINE listing to another file or device, issue the following FILE
command, it will send a copy of the STORE listing to the disk file SHOWOFFL:
:FILE OFFLINE=SHOWOFFL;DEV=DISC
To generate a store listing to the terminal as well as to a disk file, enter the previous FILE
command followed by the STORE command:
:STORE @.OPERATOR.SYS;*t;SHOW=OFFLINE
Using a Long or Short File Display
The STORE command gives you two options for displaying additional information about the
files stored. Using the SHOW parameter, you can choose to display file information in either
long or short form.
A short file display prints the file's full name, volume restrictions, number of sectors, file
code, and media number for each file you store.
In addition to there being a long and a short SHOW listing, there are also two different
versions of each - MPE and HFS. The type of listing printed depends on the input fileset
list. You will get a HFS style listing if:
• At least one file in the fileset list is specified in HFS syntax.
• A fileset wildcard is expanded to include a HFS syntax file.
The HFS style listing contains the same information as the MPE style listing. The only
difference is that the filename is printed as an absolute pathname at the end of the line.
