Top Moves the display to the top of the file list.
Bottom Moves the display to the bottom of the file list.
M When using
PF7 or PF8 , scroll up or down to the top or
bottom of the list of files.
ADD xxxxxxxx Add the specified file to the database. SirFile attempts to
open the file. If the file cannot be opened the user is
prompted for a password on the separate password
screen. Once the file is open SirFile analyzes the file
tables, stores a file record and returns to the Main File
menu, where the new file will appear.
REFRESH xxxxxxxx REFRESH performs the same function as the ADD
command if the specified file is not already in the
database. If the file is in the database its tables are
checked, and a record is stored for the file if the specified
number of days has passed since the last sample, or if a
threshold has been exceeded.
OPEN xxxxxxxx Opens a file. As data can only be collected for files that
SirFile already knows about, or files that are currently open
by any user, a SirFile user may wish to manually open a
file before running a refresh to guarantee the file is
included in the sample.
CLOSE xxxxxxxx Closes a file. Any file that the SirFile user has open can be
closed, except SIRFILE, SIRLOCAL and CCASYS (the
required application subsystem files for SirFile).
DELETE xxxxxxxx Removes the file from the SirFile database. It is never
necessary to delete a file from SirFile, but if a file is
obsolete, or is never allocated to the online region, the
SirFile administrator may find it inconvenient to always be
prompted for passwords when the file cannot be opened
during a refresh. DELETE removes all records associated
with the file: warnings, history and thresholds.
TIME xxxx yy Puts the screen into auto-refresh mode. The screen will
refresh xxxx times every yy seconds. This command does
not invoke the refresh process each time it wakes up, so it
is only useful if a background task (or some other user) is
running occasional refreshes, and this screen is used to
view the changed information.
