LISTF
LISTF
Displays information about one or more permanent files. (CM)
Syntax
LISTF[ fileset] [ ,listlevel] [ ;listfile]
Parameters
fileset Specifies the set of files to be listed. The default is @, which lists all files in
your logon group. You may select the file(s) to be listed by using the fully or
partly qualified form for fileset:
filename.groupname.accountname
You may use the @ to specify zero or more alphanumeric characters or, if
used by itself, to denote all the members of a set. You may use the symbol #
to specify one numeric character and the symbol ? to specify one
alphanumeric character. The # and ? wildcard characters count toward the
eight character limit for group, account, and file names.
listlevel Specifies the amount and format of information to display for the file(s)
you select. The default is 0, which displays only the file name. The listlevel
of the LISTF command is equivalent to the format option of the LISTFILE
command. The levels are described below in Table 4-5:
