ad 1.
depends on the script used to make these files. It looks alike that these
direct PC connections (probably Samba/iX ?) which do not logon ... or which
didn't succeed to logon.

ad 2.
MPEX LISTF,3 or any other localized LISTF format could do this better and
easier than any work in Posix.
Nevertheless, a Posix way in the shell: piping to cut and using the 0 in
byte count as delimiter. will fail for all the logons you asked for in #1.
ls -ltr /SYSTEMS/LastLogon | cut -f 2- -d 0
Will not work this way out of MPE using sh or ls directly: the piping sign
will become misinterpreted as part of ls!

I have a command file that executes the following command:

Question 1:

Why has column 3 got a 0 instead of a user.account name in some of the
entries?

Question 2:

How do I stop the first 5 columns from displaying (I only need the date,
time and filename)? Do I need to use awk on the output from ls?
