Directory

When exporting files, a directory for the data written to the export volume can be created, if desired. This directory is equivalent to the archive directory of the other HSMS basic functions and is compatible with ARCHIVE directory files.

The directory is created via the DIRECTORY-NAME operand. You can also specify whether a new directory should be created and whether the directory should be written to the volume as the last file (SAVE-DIRECTORY=*NO/*YES).

When importing files, the directory can then be the first file read from the volume. It provides a summary of the importable data on the other BS2000 system. However, only the HSMS administrator can use the HSMS statement SHOW-ARCHIVE to output the files of other user IDs.
