When you specify a file name, the file attribute information for that file is displayed. The file name can refer to any file to which the user is allowed access.

Directory Name

The directory name specifies a directory and results in a list of the file attribute information for each file subordinate to that directory. However, information is displayed only for those files to which the user is allowed access.

If both a file and a directory exist for the name supplied, information is listed for both the file and the directory (plus the subordinate files of the directory).

ON Family Name

If ON family name is specified, family substitution does not apply.

CDROM

If ON family name is followed by CDROM, the family name refers to a CD-ROM reader rather than a pack or disk. A CD-ROM reader is a read-only device that reads files stored on a compact disc.

LFILES is valid for an ISO 9660 format CD. To list files on a library maintenance format CD, use the TDIR (Tape Directory) system command.

CONTAINER

Using the CONTAINER option to select individual files within a specified directory is not valid. Select an individual file by specifying the file name, and select a directory by specifying the directory name.

The colon that precedes the output option resets all file attribute options except FILEKIND, so ALL or the <file attribute> parameter must be specified to see other attributes.

The output options <depth>, ARCHIVE, CATALOGUE, and WRAPPEDFILES are ignored when the CONTAINER option is also specified.
