File Information › Catalog File Scan

Catalog File Scan

Sometimes, you must determine what two files or series of files have in common. CA Auditor shows you information about selected cataloged files, letting you review them for possible integrity deficiencies.

To scan catalog files

1. From the Primary menu, select option 6.

   The File Information Menu is displayed.

2. Select option 1.

   The Integrity Analysis screen is displayed.

3. Select option 2.

   The Catalog File Scan screen is displayed.

4. Enter your selection criteria for the file scan on this display.

   The Catalog Search Display screen is displayed with the files that met the criteria.

   For information on the fields on this screen, press F1 (Help).

5. (Optional) To browse one of the cataloged files, enter B (Browse) next to it.
6. (Optional) To freeze an entry to monitor changes to it, enter F (Freeze) next it.

Note: Files that have an expiration date of 31 DEC 99 (99365 or 99366) are considered to be “never‑scratch” dates. Any combination of a valid expiration date range in the From date and To date fields will not select a file which has an expiration date of either 99365 or 99366 since these two dates are not truly expiration dates. To ensure that you will select files that have either of these two dates specified, do not use any dates in the From date and To date fields.
