FIND for ODS-5 files

James T Horn — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 13:55:20 GMT

I make extensive use of the FIND program to expecially find files within a range of sizes, plus it was able to find FILE_ID on ODS-2 files.

Is there a utility like that for ODS-5 drives?

James,

I don't think I've ever seen FIND, but I would use DFU for those tasks. Have you looked at or tried DFU? http://www.digiater.nl/dfu.html

I use DFU but didn't know about the SEARCH/FID or /SIZE

Thank you.

VMS Version?

If you're mildly current...

DIRECT /SELE=SIZE=MIN=100
DIRECT /SELE=SIZE=MAX=100
