Try:
 
:listuser mgr.vxl;pass;format=detail>*t

Subject: Odd behavior of Listuser command

To All,
 
We have an HP3000 967/RX running MPE/iX 5.0 PP5
RELEASE: C.50.02   MPE/iX HP31900 B.79.06   USER VERSION: C.50.02
 
I was trying to use the 'listuser' command when the following odd behavior was
observed:
 
1. First get the correct syntax
 
:help listuser
LISTUSER
    Displays information for one or more users.
 
SYNTAX
 
LISTUSER [userset][,listfile][;PASS]
         [;FORMAT={SUMMARY|BRIEF|DETAIL}]
 
KEYWORDS: PARAMETER,OPERATION,EXAMPLE
 
2. Now build the needed file and issue file equation to capture the data:
 
:build tf;rec=-80,,f,ascii;temp
:file t=tf,oldtemp
:listuser mgr.vxl,*t;pass
:
:listuser mgr.vxl,*t;pass;format=detail
                          ^
Only two parameters allowed, PASS and FORMAT. (CIERR 870)
 
3. This is strange!!.  I cannot use the listfile when I specify 'pass' and
   'format'.  Let us see if 'listacct' behaves the same way:
 
listuser mgr.vxl,*t;pass;format=detail
    dddddddddiacct
listacct vxl,*t;pass;format=detail
 
:listacct vxl,*t;pass;format=detail
EXCLUSIVE VIOLATION: FILE ACCESSED EXCLUSIVELY  (FSERR 91)
File system error 91 encountered on list file. (CIERR 425)
 
4. This is even more strange!! The temp file is being accessed?
 
:listftemp,2
TEMPORARY FILES FOR MANAGER.SYS,SUPUTIL
 
ACCOUNT=  SYS         GROUP=  SUPUTIL
FILENAME  CODE  ------------LOGICAL RECORD-----------  ----SPACE----
                  SIZE  TYP        EOF      LIMIT R/B  SECTORS #X MX
TF      *          80B  FA           0       1023   3      256  1  * (TEMP)
 
5. Well, lets use a different temp file for the listacct:
 
:build tf2;rec=-80,,f,ascii;temp
:file t2=tf2,oldtemp
:listacct vxl,*t2;pass;format=detail
                       ^
Only two parameters allowed, PASS and FORMAT. (CIERR 870)
:listftemp ,2
 
TEMPORARY FILES FOR MANAGER.SYS,SUPUTIL
 
ACCOUNT=  SYS         GROUP=  SUPUTIL
FILENAME  CODE  ------------LOGICAL RECORD-----------  ----SPACE----
                  SIZE  TYP        EOF      LIMIT R/B  SECTORS #X MX
TF      *          80B  FA           0       1023   3      256  1  * (TEMP)
TF2     *          80B  FA           0       1023   3        0  0  * (TEMP)
 
6. This is even worse.  Both commands behave the same, consistency is good,
   and now I have two temp files that are being accessed by my session.
 
   I guess I can use command redirection to place the needed data into a file
   but it would sure have been nice if the documentation mentioned that.
 
   On the other hand it could just be an error on HP's part?
 
Any ideas??
