FINDFILE (UDC) 

The FINDFILE UDC executes the LISTFILE command to search for a file.


NOTE  System-defined UDCs are not automatically available.  Your System
      Manager must use the SETCATALOG command to make these UDCs
      available for your use.  For example:

           SETCATALOG HPPXUDC.PUB.SYS;SYSTEM;APPEND 


Syntax 

FINDFILE [FILE=]filename [[START=]start_dir]

Parameters 

Refer to the LISTFILE command for a complete explanation of the
parameters used with the FINDFILE UDC. The following parameters are
supported with the FINDFILE UDC.

filename              A simple file name, including wildcards.  The
                      filename is case insensitive.  It cannot be a
                      pathname.  For example, abc, @bc, and [A-M]_@ are
                      valid filenames; while /ABC/, ./Mydir, and ABC.GRP
                      are not valid filenames.  The filename is required.

start_dir             The name of the directory where the search is to
                      begin; for example, /SYS/PUB. The default starting
                      directory is the root directory (/).

Operation Notes 

The FINDFILE UDC searches for all files matching filename, with the
search beginning at start_dir.

The UDC runs the the following form of the LISTFILE command:

     LISTFILE start_dir ,6 ;SELEQ=[OBJECT=FILE] ;NAME=filename ;TREE

Use 

This UDC may be issued from a session, a job, a program, or in BREAK.
Pressing Break aborts execution.

Examples 

Refer to the LISTFILE command later in this chapter for examples.
