OK, guys, -L, whomever, what, zactly as Ricky would say, am I/is going wrong
here? I know, YMMV, IIRC, IMHO etc

This was using the example from David N Lukenbill's posting and I exec's it
from a) within MPEX, and from within QE within MPEX, and UNKNOWN COMMAND is
not a good sign

%MPEXHeader1:='';
Unknown command name. (CIERR 975)
%MPEXHeader2:='MODIFICATION'+32*' '+'FILE';
Unknown command name. (CIERR 975)
%MPEXHeader3:='DATE'+5*' '+'TIME'+3*' '+'FILENAME'+
Unknown command name. (CIERR 975)
%             20*' '+'CODE'+4*' '+'CREATOR';
Unknown command name. (CIERR 975)
%WriteLn(MPEXHeader1);
Unknown command name. (CIERR 975)
%WriteLn(MPEXHeader1);
Unknown command name. (CIERR 975)
%WriteLn(Today:'%W, %1M %0D, %4Y',', ',Clock:'%h:%0m %x');
Unknown command name. (CIERR 975)
%WriteLn(MPEXHeader1);
Unknown command name. (CIERR 975)
%WriteLn(MPEXHeader1);

Subject: Re: [HP3000-L] Sorting MPEX %listf by moddate


Thanks to everyone who came to my rescue!  I had never done
anything fancy with MPEX (yes, I know: It's never to late to
learn something new and exciting).

Here is the specific MPEX file that I assembled, based on the
advice of my friends:



(* This file is moddate.listf.vesoft (Qedit format is OK)   *)
(*                                                          *)
(* To list a fileset sorted (in descending order) by        *)
(* modification date, do this from Qedit:                   *)
(*                                                          *)
(* /%listf @.source, moddate                                *)

(* To list only those files modified in the last few days,  *)
(* do this from Qedit, depending on the number or days that *)
(* interest you:                                            *)
(*                                                          *)
(* /%listf @.source (moddate > today-30), moddate           *)

(* Assembled by F. Alfredo Rego on July 1, 2004, with       *)
(* many thanks to my MPEX Guru friends from hp3000-L:       *)
(*                                                          *)
(*   Tom Emerson                                            *)
(*   Ron Horner                                             *)
(*   David N. Lukenbill                                     *)
(*   Andreas Schmidt                                        *)
