USER OPTION

The User Options described below allow other, freely selectable file attributes to be displayed, in addition to those displayed by CFS as standard. The selection can also be influenced by these attributes, if a selection condition is specified. Multiple User Options should be separated by commas. Up to five User Options may be specified.

The value for the User Option specified first is displayed in its own User Option column in the file list. The values for the second, third and fourth User Options, if specified, will replace the PASS, AGE and LASTP (SPACE) columns. The fifth User Option can only be used for selection purposes, since its value cannot be displayed.

The user can define one or more User Options as standard User Options. Full information can be found on page 18-.

Examples:

ALLO2;ALCNT;EXTNT;ALLOC

Here, the User Option is used to display the size of the secondary allocation (ALLO2). The PASS column will contain the number of secondary allocations (ALCNT), the AGE column will contain the number of extents (EXTNT), and the LASTP column will contain the amount of space reserved for the file (ALLOC).

ALCNT;EXTNT;;ALLOC

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

;;;VSN

This specification results in the first column of the file list (LASTP) containing the VSN of each file. The AGE and PAS columns are not affected.

Two successive semicolons ";;" cause the respective columns of the file list not to be overwritten with a User Option. See the last two examples.

When entering selection parameters, the value x may be specified alone instead of =x. The "=" sign will be substituted by CFS.
