STORE and TurboSTORE/iX Products Manual (B5151-90003)

Chapter 5 67
Storing Files
Specifying Files in a STORE Command
matches filestostore will be stored, unless the file also matches a filestoexclude. An
unlimited number of filestoexclude may be specified. However, if the TRANSPORT option is
also being used, only one filestoexclude may be specified.
NOTE Since the hyphen (-) is a valid character for HFS syntax filenames, a blank
character must separate it from HFS filesets to obtain the special negative
fileset meaning.
Specifying A Fileset
Filesets and exclusion sets are specified using the same format. They can be specified two
different ways:
• MPE syntax
• HFS syntax
MPE Syntax
A file is specified as:
filename[.groupname[.accountname] ]
If accountname is omitted, the file is looked for in your logon account. If groupname is
omitted, the file is looked for in your current working directory.
A lockword may be specified for a file, in the form:
filename/lockword.group.account
HFS Syntax
A file is specified as:
/dir_lev_1/dir_lev_2/.../dir_lev_i/.../filedesig
or
./dir_lev_i/dir_lev_j/.../dir_lev_k/.../filedesig
If the name begins with a dot ( . ), then it is fully qualified by replacing the dot with the
current working directory (CWD).
Each of the components
dir_lev_i and filedesig can have a maximum of 255 characters
with the full pathname being restricted to 1023 characters.
Each of the components
dir_lev_i and filedesig can use the following characters:
• Letters a to z
• Letters A to Z
• Digits 0 to 9
• Special characters - _ .
For HFS syntax, the lowercase letters are distinct from the uppercase letters (no
upshifting). Names in MPE syntax are upshifted.
