Re: FW: IBM system 34 SSP command

["M. Lazarus" <mlazarus@xxxxxxxx>]

Paul,

 UNIT-F1 refers to the disk, UNIT-I1 refers to the diskette 
drive.  The output can be set via the SYSLIST command:
SYSLIST CRT or SYSLIST PRINTER.

 The "native" command to list the files on the disk would be:
CATALOG ALL,F1 or CATALOG ALL,I1.  There are other parms, so typing 
HELP CATALOG will allow the user to key in the rest of the parms.  HTH.
