Tim,

     I just wrote this little command file to print out only the file
     equations that you are looking for.  The only requirement is that you
     must be on at least MPE/iX 5.0 or have the GREP utility from the CSLXL
     tape available to you.


     PARM FILEIN=NONE
     SETVAR FILENAM "!FILEIN"
     SETVAR FILESRCH "!FILEIN"+";"
     IF FILENAM = "NONE"
       LISTEQ
     ELSE
       PURGE TEMP9999
       BUILD TEMP9999;REC=-80,,F,ASCII;DEV=DISC
       FILE TEMP9999=TEMP9999,OLD;ACC=APPEND
       LISTEQ>*TEMP9999
       ECHO
       GREP.HPBIN.SYS;INFO="-e !FILESRCH TEMP9999"
       ECHO
       RESET TEMP9999
     ENDIF

     ** NOTE:  Make sure you use a lowercase "e" in the INFO string or the
               command will not work!!  The file TEMP9999 is used just so that
               you won't accidentally purge a file that you really need.

Subject: LISTEQ QUESTION

On our 960 and 980 systems we have quite a few file
equations and most of the time, I only want to check
the setting of one equation.

Does anyone by chance have  a modified listeq which
will allow you to enter for example:

                       :LISTEQ filename

and have it return just that file equation?

I have an idea as to how to do it but thought I'd ask the
HP guru's first.  I claim to be a guru in training at our
site!

Thank You

P.S.  This is a great list and I feel honored to be on it
with some of the great HP minds whose names I
recognize.  Thanks Jeff!
