===== IBM system 34 SSP command ===+

[Bill Allen Jr]

Oh Man,

it's been years but,

check out the "listlibr" (list library) command.

i think it works with floppys but it may be a hard
drive command.

something like //listlibr dir

the dir switch need to be in there somewhere.


also i think display is the ocl command for display.

the listlibr command uses a switch for the crt or
printer too.

keep in mind that the crt only displays so many
columns

you'll have to send the output to the line printer or
a printer on the twinax to view the entire line.

Hi,

Does anyone know a way of listing the files of a
diskette or a disk 
drive of a System 34 ? I tried the following SSP
commands (normally used 
on S/36 computer), but it doesn't seem to work ...

//LOAD $LABEL
//RUN
//DISPLAY LABEL-ALL,UNIT-F1
//END

After typing these commands, I was expecting something
should appear on 
the CRT but nothing arrived, neither a list of files,
nor an error 
message, even if I had to wait few seconds before the
computer returns me 
the hand... 

I don't really understand what they mean by the verb
DISPLAY in the OCL 
statement guide. Does it mean DISPLAY on the CRT ?
DISPLAY on the 
PRINTER ? DISPLAY in a file ?... grrrr....

Merry X-mas to all, and thank you for your help.
Fred.
