Getting A List Of Your Files; Using The Filelist Command - IBM Professional Series User Manual

More information on the commands discussed in this section
can be found in the VM / SP CMS Command and Macro
Reference and the VM / SP CP Command Reference for
General Users.
Getting a List of Your Files
If you can't remember the exact name of a file you want to
work with, you can use the FILELIST or LISTFILE
commands. Both these commands display a list of the files
you have on your disk. Use the FILELIST command if you
want to do something (EDIT, ERASE, RENAME, etc.) to
the files that are listed. Use the LISTFILE command if you
only want information about the names of your files.
Remember that every file has a three-part label: filename,
filetype, and filemode. Generally, the files you create and
change have a filemode of A. This means that they are all
kept in a collection of files called your A-disk. The
FILELIST and LISTFILE commands display a list of all the
files on your A-disk. (Later you'll see how to display a list of
files on other disks, such as B-disk, C-disk, etc.)
