Synopsis

Module

     DMSLST (LISTFILE)

Function

       LISTFILE COMMAND.  INFORMATION ABOUT  THE SPECIFIED
       FILE(S) IS OUTPUT FOR THE USER.

Attributes

     DISK RESIDENT, TRANSIENT

Operation

       THE  DISK(S)  SEARCHED  FOR  THE  GIVEN  FILE(S)  ARE
       DETERMINED BY DMSLSTA AS FOLLOWS:

       1. IF  FILEMODE   IS  GIVEN,  DMSLAD  IS   CALLED  TO
          REFERENCE  THE  GIVEN DISK;  IF  FOUND,  DMSLSTA
            SEARCHES THE DIRECTORY TO FIND THE GIVEN
            FILE(S).  IF NOT FOUND BY DMSLAD, I.E., THE DISK
            IS NOT LOGGED IN, AN ERROR IS RETURNED.

       2. IF  THE FILEMODE  IS  OMITTED,  DMSLADN IS  CALLED
            (REPEATEDLY IF NECESSARY),  AND DMSLSTA SEARCHES
            THE PRIMARY DISK AND ALL ITS EXTENSIONS,
            TO FIND THE GIVEN FILE(S).

       3. IF THE  FILEMODE WAS GIVEN  AS ASTERISK  (*), THEN
            DMSLADN IS
            CALLED AS  ABOVE, AND ALL DISKS,  READ-WRITE AND
            READ-ONLY,
            ARE SEARCHED BY DMSLSTA FOR THE GIVEN FILE(S).

       WHEN DMSLSTA, IN  SCANNING A PARTICULAR FST  TABLE AS
       OBTAINED FROM DMSLAD  OR DMSLADN, FINDS AN  FST ENTRY
       WHOSE FILENAME AND FILETYPE SATISFY THE
       PARAMETER  LIST,  IT MOVES  THE  FILENAME,  FILETYPE,
       FILEMODE, AND  ANY OTHER  REQUESTED INFORMATION  FROM
       THAT FILE  STATUS TABLE  TO THE  BUFFER. IF  THE EXEC
       OPTION IS NOT REQUESTED, IT THEN CALLS
        DMSCWR TO TYPE THE CONTENTS OF THE BUFFER AT THE
       TERMINAL.  (THE  OUTPUT LINES MAY  BE PRECEDED  BY AN
       APPROPRIATE HEADING.)
       DMSLSTA REPEATS  THIS PROCEDURE FOR EACH  FILE STATUS
       TABLE SATISFYING THE FILENAME AND FILETYPE LISTING
       REQUIREMENTS.
       WHEN SCAN OF ALL PARTICIPATING FILE STATUS TABLES IS
       COMPLETED, DMSLSTA RETURNS TO THE CALLER.

       If the STACK option is specified, the output is       HRC321DS
       placed in the stack in FIFO order.  The STACK option  HRC321DS
       implies the NOHEADER option.                          HRC321DS
                                                             HRC321DS
       If the FIFO option is specified, the output is placed HRC321DS
       in the stack in FIFO order.  The FIFO option implies  HRC321DS
       the NOHEADER option.                                  HRC321DS
                                                             HRC321DS
       If the LIFO option is specified, the output is placed HRC321DS
       in the stack in LIFO order.  The LIFO option implies  HRC321DS
       the NOHEADER option.                                  HRC321DS
                                                             HRC321DS
       IF THE EXEC OPTION IS  REQUESTED, THE CONTENTS OF THE
       BUFFER ARE NOT  WRITTEN TO THE TERMINAL.   INSTEAD, A
       CMS EXEC FILE, CONTAINING THE DUMMY ARGUMENTS "&1 &2"
       FOLLOWED  BY THE  BUFFER CONTENTS  IS CREATED.   THIS
       FILE MAY LATER BE ACCESSED BY THE EXEC PROGRAM, WHICH
       WILL REPLACE THE DUMMY ARGUMENTS.

       THE APPEND OPTION IS PRINCIPALLY THE SAME AS THE
       EXEC OPTION IN ITS MANNER OF EXECUTION, BUT WHEREAS
       THE EXEC OPTION WILL ERASE AN EXTANT CMS EXEC FILE,
       APPEND CAUSES NEW INFORMATION TO BE PLACED INTO SUCH
       A FILE.  IF A 'CMS EXEC FILE DOES NOT EXIST WHEN THE
       APPEND OPTION IS SPECIFIED, ONE WILL BE CREATED -- IN
       A MANNER IDENTICAL  TO HAVING SPECIFIED THE EXEC OPTION.

       THERE IS A VARIED AMOUNT OF INFORMATION THAT THE USER
       MAY REQUEST  BE TYPED OR  PLACED INTO CMS  EXEC FILE.
       THE INFORMATION  IS SERIALLY  PRODUCED; I.E.,  IF THE
       DATA FROM THE RIGHTMOST COLUMNS  ARE WANTED, THE DATA
       UP TO THOSE COLUMNS WILL  BE PROVIDED.

       THE  DEFAULT  AMOUNT  OF   INFORMATION  IS  FILENAME,
       FILETYPE,   FILEMODE,   WITH   NOHEADER.    IF   MORE
       INFORMATION  IS  REQUESTED,   BY  SPECIFYING  FORMAT,
       ALLOC,  DATE, OR  LABEL, HEADER  BECOMES THE  DEFAULT
       OPTION.

       IF FORMAT IS ENTERED, THE  RECORD FORMAT OF THE FILE,
       FIXED OR VARIABLE, AND THE LOGICAL RECORD LENGTH WILL
       BE PROVIDED.

       IF ALLOC  IS ENTERED, THE  AMOUNT OF DISK  SPACE THAT
       CMS HAS  ALLOCATED TO THE FILE  IN TERMS OF  BOTH THE
       NUMBER OF  PHYSICAL BLOCKS  USED, AND  THE NUMBER  OF
       LOGICAL RECORDS WITHIN THE FILE WILL BE PROVIDED.

       IF DATE IS ENTERED, THE  CREATION DATE (MM/DD/YY) AND
       TIME (HH.MM) OF THE FILE WILL BE PROVIDED.

       IF  LABEL IS  ENTERED, THE  VOLSER OF  THE DISK  UPON
       WHICH THE FILE RESIDES WILL  BE INCLUDED AS THE FINAL
       ITEM.

       ALL  OF THE  ABOVE  INFORMATION,  EXCEPT DISK  LABEL,
       COMES  FROM  THE  FILE STATUS  TABLE  (FST)  FOR  THE
       RESPECTIVE FILE.  THE DISK LABEL IS OBTAINED FROM THE
       ACTIVE DEVICE TABLE (ADT) FOR THAT DISK.
