Displays information about one or more permanent files. LISTF does not display file information for files residing in hierarchical directories. To list such files, use the LISTFILE command. Refer to MPE/iX Commands Reference Manual Volumes 1 and 2 (32650-60115) for more information on listing hierarchical files.

Syntax

   LISTF [fileset][,listlevel][;listfile]

Parameters

fileset

Specifies the set of files to be listed. The default is @, producing a listing of all files in the logon group. You may select the file(s) to be listed by using the fully or partly qualified form for fileset:

   filename[.groupname[.accountname]]

Use the # symbol to specify a single numeric character. Use the ? symbol to specify a single alphanumeric character. Use the @ symbol to specify zero or more alphanumeric characters. By itself, @ represents all the members of a set. Each of these wildcard characters counts toward the eight-character limit for group, account, and file names.

listlevel

Specifies the level (amount and format) of information about the file(s) you select. The default is zero.

-3

Displays the same information found with 3, plus the lockword, creator, and label address. For program files the #SEG, STACK, MAXDATA, TOTAL, DB, DL, and CAP values are omitted. System manager (SM) or account manager (AM) capability is required to use this option.

-2

Displays the file's access control definition (ACD). System managers can view the ACD for any file. Account managers can view the ACD for files in that account. File creators can view the ACD for their files. Other users can view an ACD only if that ACD specifies that the user has RACD (read ACD) access.

-1

Displays the hexadecimal listing of the file label, including all lockwords. This level is available only to system managers and account managers.

NOTE: The hexadecimal listing generated by a LISTF, -1 serves only a diagnostic purpose in MPE/iX and is subject to change.
0

Displays only the file name. This is the default.

1

Displays the file name, file code, record size, record format, and other file characteristics such as ASCII or binary records, carriage-control option, current end-of-file location, and the maximum number of records allowed in the file.

2

Displays the file name, file code, record size, record format, and other file characteristics such as ASCII or binary records, carriage-control option, current end-of-file location, and the maximum number of records allowed in the file. It also displays the blocking factor, number of sectors in use, number of extents currently allocated, and the maximum number of extents allowed. LISTF, 2 also displays KSAMXL file types with "K".

3

Displays the file name, record size, extent size, number of records, access rights for the user, and other file characteristics including the date created, modified, and last accessed. The creator, lockword, and label address are omitted. These can be obtained by specifying -3 if you have AM capability (for files in your account) or SM capability (for any file on the system).

4

Displays the security matrix for the file. This includes account, group and file-level security and the access rights for the user. If an access control definition (ACD) exists, a message stating that fact is displayed.

6

Displays the fully qualified file name.
