5.3.6 LIST

The LIST command returns a working list of absolute file names in a directory.

The working list to return the file names must be defined with a single field long enough to contain the absolute file path.

If no DIR keyword is provided and the current directory has not been changed using other commands, the default JSM instance directory will be searched. Sub-directories are not searched.

If no EXT keyword is provided all files in the directory will be selected by default.

Syntax:

Command Keyword Value Developer notes LIST DIR value Optional. Fill working list with directory listing. All files in that directory will be selected. EXT value Optional. Filtering on file extension. The filtering match is case insensitive. SORT *NONE Optional. Allows sorting of file names. Default is No sorting. *NAME Sort on file name. *MODIFIED Sort on modified date. REVERSE *YES Optional. Reverse the order of the sort. *NO Default.
