LIBRARY Function

LIBRARY lists the index of a VLS library, space use statistics, and member characteristics.

TRTAB=

Optional 256-byte keyword that specifies the name of a table used for output character translation. If not specified (default), the program searches for table PMSTRDFT. If not found it searches for table PMSTRUC as supplied in the CA IPC installation. If not found, an internal table very similar to PMSTRUC is used.

You can create PMSTRDFT or modify PMSTRUC as instructed in How to Modify the PMS Conversion Tables.

The characters B.D. in the record count column mean that the member is a block data member. The column for member names is 40 characters long, regardless of the NAMELEN= (name length) specification for the VLS file. Each unprintable character, except for a blank, displays as a question mark character (?).
