The FINDDIR UDC executes the LISTFILE command to search for a directory.

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

FINDDIR [[DIR=]dir_name] [ [START=]start_dir]

Parameters

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

dir_name

A simple directory name, including wildcards. The dir_name is case insensitive. It cannot be a pathname. For example, abc, @bc, and [A-M]_@ are valid dir_names; while /ABC/, ./Mydir, and ABC.GRP are not valid dir_names. The dir_name is optional and defaults to @.

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 FINDDIR UDC finds all directories matching dir_name, with the search beginning at start_dir.

The UDC executes the following form of the LISTFILE command:

 LISTFILE start_dir ,6 ;SELEQ=[OBJECT=DIR] ;NAME=dir_name ;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.
