Hi,

This is how I do it.


/file aaa;code=0

dscopy prvfile to *aaa; ;fcode=-400    { use listf aaa,3 to find the file code }

  Source file: prvfile
  Target file: AAA
  10 logical record(s) transferred.

/listf aaa,2


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

AAA               128W  FB          10         10   1       16  1  1


Then use qedit command
/list $c aaa all

to dump the content.

Thanks

Michael

I have an application which creates a PRIV file (not Image, so that users
can't delete it by accident) and I need to see what has been written into
it.

Does anyone know of a standard utility which will read such files.  No
matter what I try to use, I always get FSError 45.."Privilege mode
violation".

Can't even drop it to a PC to examine it.

All I can think of is to take my program which reads this file and add an
option to print the details but if there is some other way........?
