Directory (DIR)

Specifies the optical directory that contains the files specified to be listed, beginning with the root directory of the volume.

This is a required parameter.

*ALL: All directories on the specified optical volume are listed. If DIR(*ALL) is specified, only optical files contained in the root directory are listed.
directory-name: Specify the name of a directory.

File (FILE)

Specifies the file or files to be listed.

*ALL: All files in the specified directory are listed.
*SELECT: The files in the range specified on the SLTFILE parameter are listed.
Note: This value is ignored for volumes in remote optical servers.
file-name: Specify the name of a file.
generic*-file-name: Specify the generic name of the file you want to work with. A generic name is a character string of one or more characters followed by an asterisk (*); for example, ABC*. The asterisk substitutes for any valid characters. A generic name specifies all objects with names that begin with the generic prefix for which the user has authority. If an asterisk is not included with the generic (prefix) name, the system assumes it to be the complete object name.

Select files (SLTFILE)

Specifies the range of files to be listed.

Notes:

This parameter is valid only if FILE(*SELECT) is specified and is ignored if the optical volume was initialized as a backup volume.
This parameter is not valid for remote optical servers.

Element 1: From file

*ALL: All files in the specified directory are selected.
from-file: Specify the name of the first file in the name range to be selected.
generic*-file-name: Specify the generic name of the optical files to be selected.

Element 2: To file

to-file: Specify the name of the last file in the name range.
Note: This value is ignored when the from-file value is *ALL or generic*.

Select date (SLTDATE)

Specifies the date and the time range of the files to be selected.

Notes:

This parameter is valid only if FILE(*SELECT) is specified and is ignored if the optical volume was initialized as a backup volume.
This parameter is not valid for remote optical servers.

Element 1: Date type

*CREATED: The files are selected by the dates on which they were created.
*MODIFIED: The files are selected by the dates on which they were changed.

Element 2: Starting date and time

Element 1: Starting time

*AVAIL: The time range includes all possible times before the end time.
start-time: Specify the earliest time in the time range.

Element 2: Starting date

*BEGIN: The date of the oldest file is the starting date.
start-date: Specify the earliest date in the date range.

Element 3: Ending date and time

Element 1: Ending time

*AVAIL: The time range includes all times after the starting time.
end-time: Specify the last time in the time range.

Element 2: Ending date

*END: The date of the newest file is the ending date.
end-date: Specify the last date in the date range.

Examples

Example 1: Displaying Optical Files in a Root Directory

WRKOPTF   VOL(VOL01)  DIR(*ALL)

This command displays a list of all optical files in the root directory on the optical volume VOL01.

Example 2: Displaying Optical Files in a Specific Directory

WRKOPTF   VOL(VOL02)  DIR('/DIR1')  FILE(*ALL)

This command displays a list of all optical files in the directory DIR1 on the optical volume VOL02.

Example 3: Displaying Optical Files Created on Specific Dates

WRKOPTF   VOL(VOL03)  DIR('/DIR2')
          FILE(*SELECT)  SLTFILE(*ALL)
          SLTDATE(*CREATED ('12:01:00' '1/1/94')
                           ('23:59:59' '12/31/94'))

This command displays a list of all optical files in the directory DIR2 on the volume VOL03 created between 12:01:00 on January 1, 1994 and 23:59:59 on December 31, 1994.
