UO Define Standard User Options

UO [u-opt-1] [; [u-opt-2]] [; [u-opt-3]] [; [u-opt-4]]

The specified User Option(s) will be used with immediate effect as the default values for the CFS Selection mask. Information about the current default User Options can be obtained from the SET mask; assigning different options can also be done from this mask.

Standard: no default User Option.

Notes:

User Options result in one or more freely selectable file characteristics being displayed in the file list, in addition to the standard CFS values. The user can enter a condition to select files on the basis of these characteristics. Multiple User Options should be separated by semicolons. A maximum of four User Options can be specified.

Entering the UO command without operands will reset the last Standard User Options to have been defined.

The UO command may not be chained with other commands.

The value for the first User Option to have been specified will be displayed in the special User Option column. Second, third or fourth User Options will overwrite the PASS, AGE and LASTP (SPACE) columns, respectively.

Two successive semicolons, ";;" , will result in that respective column not being overwritten with a User Option. See the last example on this page.

A User Option defined with UO will first be operable after the next selection. To activate a new User Option for the current file list, use the NP* command. NP* will not display the new User Option if the current selection already contains another User option.

Examples:

ALLO2;ALCNT;EXTNT;ALLOC

The User Option column will display the secondary space allocation (ALLO2). The PASS column will contain the number of utilised secondary allocations, the AGE column will contain the number of extents (EXTNT), and the LASTP column will contain the allocated disk space (ALLOC).

ALCNT;EXTNT;;ALLOC

The User Option column will contain the number of utilsed secondary allocations (ALCNT), and the PASS column will contain the number of extents (EXTNT). The AGE column will not be overwritten (;;). The LASTP column will contain the allocated disk space (ALLOC).
