INFO DISKFILE Command
INFO DISKFILE Command
INFO DISKFILE retrieves information stored in disk file entries. Disk file entries are
created when the CATALOGFILES option of the Backup utility (T9074) or BACKCOPY
is used when the utility is run. These entries are mainly used for recovery operations.
Disk file entries have a status of valid unless manually marked invalid by ALTER
DISKFILE. All valid entries represent files eligible for a recovery operation by
RECOVER DISKFILE.
Invalid disk file entries remain in the catalog until the tape file entry they belong to
expires. Invalid entries still in the catalog can be listed with the STATUS INVALID
option of INFO DISKFILE.
INFO DISKFILE
entered without a disk file name and the other options, retrieves information on all
valid disk file entries of the latest generation of all tape file entries in the default file
catalog. A brief report is sent to your current default output file (usually your home
terminal).
disk-file-name
is the disk file name of the entry you are interested in. Wild-card characters are
permitted in this name.
When disk-file-name is not given, all valid disk file entries of the specified
generation of the specified tape file entries in file-catalog-name are used.
BRIEF | DETAIL
specifies how much information you want retrieved. BRIEF, the default, retrieves
less information than DETAIL. For report formats, see Considerations on
page 2-105.
FILECAT { \node }
{ \node.file-catalog-name }
is the logical name of the file catalog that owns the disk file entry. Wild-card
characters are permitted in this name. The default is the name set by the FILECAT
command.
