FILENAME_FINDSTART_ Procedure
parameter is omitted or equal to -1, device type is disregarded when selecting file 
names. See “Device Type Considerations.”
device-subtype  input
INT:value
if present and not equal to -1, specifies a device-subtype value to be used in 
selecting returned names. A name returned by FILENAME_FINDNEXT_ must 
represent, or must not represent (depending on the value of 
options), an entity of 
the specified device subtype. If this parameter is omitted or equal to -1, device 
subtype is disregarded when selecting file names. See “Device Type 
Considerations.”
options input
INT:value
specifies further options. The bits, when equal to 1, indicate the following:     
Bit Meaning
<0:7
>
Reserved (specify 0)
<8> If a physical file corresponding to a NonStop Storage Management 
Foundation (SMF) logical file is encountered, the name of the physical 
file is to be returned.
<9> The search is to be executed in a nowait manner. When this option is 
specified, some parts of the search processing are asynchronous with 
respect to the caller, and the results of the search are returned in system 
messages sent to $RECEIVE rather than through the output parameters 
of FILENAME_FINDNEXT_. See “Considerations.”
<10> Device simulation by subtype 30 processes is not to be supported.
<11>
The search is not to include subprocesses; that is, the search is to ignore 
qualifier names that are subordinate to names of user processes (other 
than device simulation processes). Because there is no search for 
qualifier names, the subordinate name inquiry system message (-107) is 
not sent by FILENAME_FINDNEXT_. The PROCESS_SETINFO_ 
procedure enables the receipt of this system message. For more 
information on this system message, refer to the 
Guardian Procedure 
Errors and Messages Manual.
<12> If an entity is encountered that is offline (that is, the system is not 
connected or the device is down), an error is to be reported. When this 
bit is zero, such entities are sometimes ignored.  See “Error Handling.”
<13>
If 
device-subtype is supplied, a file name must not match the device 
subtype value in order to be returned.
<14>
If 
device-type is supplied, a file name must not match the device type 
value in order to be returned.
