FINDDIR (UDC)
FINDDIR (UDC)
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.
