The LISTFILE command
Another command that supplies information about files is the LISTFILE
command. You may use this command on spool files just as you would on
any other file. For example, to display all output spool files in
OUT.HPSPOOL if you have access to them, enter:
LISTFILE O@.OUT.HPSPOOL;FORMAT=5
You may use the name of a specific spool file instead of O followed by
the wildcard (@).
The LISTFILE command displays MPE/iX file system characteristics such as
the record size, block size, file code, security, creator, and access
dates. The LISTFILE command also displays file information for those
files named in the hierarchical file directories. Refer to MPE/iX
Commands Reference Manual Volumes 1 and 2 (32650-90003 and 32650-90364)
for more information on hierarchical files and the LISTFILE command.
The LISTSPF command, described earlier, shows information exclusively
related to spooling, such as the number of copies, the output device, the
formal file designator and the spool file state.
[REV BEG]
FORMAT=5 is useful for spool files, both linked and unlinked, because it
shows a spool file's target device. It is particularly useful for
unlinked spool files since LISTSPF does not display information about
them.[REV END]
