MPE/iX Large Files Overview
LISTF[ILE | TEMP] Command Changes
The LISTF, LISTFILE, and LISTFTEMP commands all can be used to display information
about Large Files. All of the various LISTF and LISTFILE formats continue to work with
normal sized files as well as Large Files. File type information about KSAM64 files is
displayed in the LISTF family of commands as a lowercase ‘k’.
In order to display information about Large Files, two new file format options have been
introduced. The LISTF, LISTFILE, and LISTFTEMP commands now support options 10
(SUMMARYWIDE) and 11 (DISCWIDE). File format option 10 is the Large File equivalent of file
option “1”, containing all the same information, but in a new format that allows for the
expression of larger values. Similarly, the format option 11 is the Large File equivalent of
file option “2”. Again, the same basic information is displayed, but the format has been
changed to allow for a greater range of values to be displayed.
The syntax of the LISTF, LISTFILE, and LISTFTEMP commands has not been changed with
the addition of the new 10 and 11 format options. The same syntax can be used with the
new values of 10 and 11 as the format. The output of the new formats varies depending on
whether or not MPE/iX syntax names are being displayed or HFS syntax names are being
displayed.
The format for each of the MPE/iX and HFS syntax varieties of the new formats 10 and 11
can be seen from the examples shown below:
