to start with something known.....

:listfile command,2
ACCOUNT=  SYS         GROUP=  PUB

FILENAME  CODE  ------------LOGICAL RECORD-----------  ----SPACE----
                  SIZE  TYP        EOF      LIMIT R/B  SECTORS #X MX

COMMAND           128W  FB         512       1023   1      736  3  *


:setvar x (finfo("command","eof"))*100/(finfo("command","limit"))
:showvar x
X = 50

in this example, the file name (command) is hardcoded into the 2 finfo's --
because it's an example.  additionally, a variable is needlessly being set
-- because it's an example :-)

so with a given file set routed to a file (as in: listfile
@[log in to unmask],6>myfile), the input (myfile) can be used in the above equation
*and* placed into an 'if' statement (similarily to what tim just
showed...)                  - d
