When you want to run FLST, go to a cleared CICS screen or a cleared
REXX/CICS screen, enter
FLST and FLST starts running. The
FLST screen format follows.
USER=USER1 - DIRECTORY=\USERS\USER1
CMD FILENAME FILETYPE ATTRIBUTES RECORDS SIZE DATE TIME
TEST1 EXEC FILE 11 1 1994/03/27 10:30:29
TEST2 EXEC FILE 5 1 1994/03/27 10:31:04
COMMAND ===>
F1=HELP F2=REFRESH F3=END F7=UP 18 F8=DOWN 18 F11=EDIT F12=CANCEL
Your
user ID is displayed in the upper left hand corner.
The
current directory is displayed beside your
user ID. The rest of the screen looks very similar to a REXX/CICS
editor session. FLST uses the editor for all I/O except for the first
two lines that are displayed using the RESERVED command in the editor.
The advantages of using the REXX/CICS editor for the I/O shell are
seen in the ability to search for a file name or file type in a large
directory and your ability to save the directory to a file on disk.
