FINDFILE (UDC)
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.
