The FILEDATA utility program can be executed in the following four ways:
-
Using a RUN command in a CANDE or MARC session, in a WFL job, or at an ODT. The RUN command must be of the form RUN *SYSTEM/FILEDATA("<parameter list>").
-
Entering the DIR (Directory) or TDIR (Tape Directory) system commands. Refer to “Using System Commands to Initiate FILEDATA” later in this section.
-
Entering the CANDE LFILES command. The LFILES command can be used to display information for one or more files in the same directory. For an explanation of the CANDE LFILES command, refer to the CANDE Operations Reference Manual.
-
Entering the DATA selection on the UTIL screen in a MARC session.
Examples of statements that run FILEDATA are given under “Sample FILEDATA Runs” later in this section.
