RE: Shell question

Upper and lower case sensitivity depends on the filesystem.

f. e.:
- QDLS transforms everything to uppercase
- root filesystem saves the files and dirs case sensitive but ignores it
when processing an express (f. e. ls /tmp/*.pdf)
- QOpenSys is case sensitive

First check if the file is there with the ls command like

ls /qsys.lib/bdvin.lib/qsqlsrc.file/crtbase.mbr

I too would like to learn some QSH but I seem to get problems in

almost

every command. There always seems to be the assumption that one knows
something about UNIX already.

For example, if I try :

cat /qsys.lib/bdvin.lib/qsqlsrc.file/crtbase.mbr | grep -c date

I get No such path or directory.

But ls /qsys.lib/d133363v1.lib/qrpglesrc.file gives :
CLT600.MBR

For starters, the error message "No such path or directory" identifies
the
sender of the message, like in the following. Let's find out where the
error is first: can it not find "cat" or "grep" or the file? Also, you
ARE
entering this all in lower case, right? For the filename that doesn't
matter, but for everything else it does.

cat /no/file/name

cat: 001-0023 Error found opening file /no/file/name. No such path or
directory.
/home/DLOVELADY>

cat .profile | grepx noene

qsh: 001-0019 Error found searching for command grepx. No such path or
directory.
/home/DLOVELADY>
