Hi Jeff and others,
thanks for the help, it now works a treat.
one thing still puzzles me though,
take the following
----------------------------------
:LISTF XYZ,2
Non-existent file. (CIERR 907)
:LISTFTEMP @,2
Temporary file not found. (CIWARN 3289)
:SHOWJOB > XZY
:CALC FINFO("XZY",19)
74, $4A, %112
:LISTFTEMP @,2
TEMPORARY FILES FOR K0001.SYS,TEST
ACCOUNT= SYS GROUP= COMFILES
FILENAME CODE ------------LOGICAL RECORD----------- ----SPACE----
SIZE TYP EOF LIMIT R/B SECTORS #X MX
XZY 256B VA 74 10000 1 32 1 * (TEMP)
----------------------------------
I would still like to understand whether FINFO should or should not be able
to function on
files in the temporary domain, if there are no fileeqs to assist it.
Confused,
Kev
