James,
LISTFILE option 6 should work.

Example
2/IS/H01860:listfile a@,6
ALLOWDEV.H01860.IS        
ALLOWJIM.H01860.IS        
AUTODOC.H01860.IS        

2/IS/H01860:listfile /IS/H01860/A@,6
 /IS/H01860/ALLOWDEV
 /IS/H01860/ALLOWJIM
 /IS/H01860/ARCHIE.RFA
 /IS/H01860/AUTODOC

Subject: [HP3000-L] More on STORE

I note that if the size of the STORE to DISC file grows past 4GB
then STORE creates additional HFS files in the form FILENAME.#
where # is a sequence number starting at 2.

This means that an STD (I just love that initialism!) store set
actually consists of the HFS files /ACCT/GROUP/FILENAME((.([2-9]|[1-
9][0-9]+))?)? all of which I have to move to the repository.  Now,
my backup job file is a MPE file and uses MPE file naming
conventions throughout.  What I want to do is to parse the STORE
filename descriptor (passed as a parameter via a system variable)
and convert it into its HFS equivalent so that I can then do this:

XEQ LS.HPBIN.SYS "-lpR <MPE filename in HFS form>*"

and this:

FTP
OPEN AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD
USER ANONYMOUS
BINARY
PROMPT
MPUT <MPE filename in HFS form>((.([2-9]|[1-9][0-9]+))?)?
QUIT

So, is there a readily available means to transform an MPE file
name into its HFS equivalent or do I have to write a parsing
routine myself?

Regards,
Jim
