TPF file system diagnostic tool enhancements

TPFUG_Req_Number: D08004S
ORIGIN DATE: March 25th, 2008
REQUIREMENT ABSTRACT : Provide additional diagnostic tools for the TPF file system

REQUIREMENT DESCRIPTION :
· Provide a functional entry to convert a TPF file system PID to its file system name
· Provide a functional entry to convert a PID to its file system name
· Provide the ability to use a fully qualified file system name on ZBROW entries, instead of a browser name associated with its PID.
· Provide a means of referencing a TPF file system file by its INODE ordinal so that the reference can be used on ZBROW entries.
o zfile ls –i provides the INODE for a file system file. Providing a supported real or pseudo browser name based on the INODE ordinal avoids the current manual process of then having to 1) convert the INODE to hex, 2) zdrec linode.xxx to display the inode and locate the PID 3) create a browser name for the PID for use on ZBROW entries.

    While IBM believes the idea to be sound, we do not intend to do this in the foreseeable future.
