Re: IFS Dir file listing

Hi

If you need only the contents of the root, then you can use the ls 
command in QShell and redirect output to a PF. The PF has to be a flat 
file member or a source file member.

In CL, first create the PF, then run the QSH command -

CRTPF YOURLIB/YOURFILE RCDLEN(256)

QSH CMD('ls -A1 / > /qsys.lib/yourlib.lib/yourfile.file/yourfile.mbr')

That will put each file and directory on each line, including those with 
a dot in the first position.

If you make the options value be -AF1, then the last character of the 
names will tell you if the name is a directory or regular file or some 
other kind of thing - look up the ls function in QShell documentation - 
I forget.

There's a way to tell it to go down through subdirectories, but you 
don't want to do that from the root, right?
