  • LFILES to get directory of a Wrapped Container

    From CR@21:1/5 to All on Mon Nov 13 10:56:55 2023
    Can somebody post the command to list the directory of files in a
    wrapped container ? I used to have the command on a post-it on my
    computer, but it seems to have been misplaced :-(.

    From the CANDE operations manual, I inferred it to be LFILES:CONTAINER=<filename>, but that is returning an error
    of "** ERROR ** REQUESTED FILE OR DIRECTORY NOT FOUND.".

    I know for a fact that the file is present on disk.

    Thank you.

    Just found out that the command is LFIL *= CONT=<container file>.
