BFSLIST is a FILELIST-like tool for BFS files.
Change history
Version 2.0.1, 2 Apr 1998, Avoid errors on screens wider than 80 colsVersion 3.1, 2 Jan 2008, Add a BROWSE command (uses PIPE's BROWSE)
Version 3.1.a, 23 Jun 2008, avoid alignment problems for file larger than 100M.
Version 3.1.b, 1 Oct 2008, avoid REXX Novalue abend when nothing is mounted.
BFS stands for Byte File System. It is the repository for VM's Posix compliant files. Using BFS is a must when Java and NetRexx are installed on VM/ESA. BFS files are organized in directories, just as in Unix.
Without a BFSLIST like tool, you only have linemode interfaces to work with BFS files: OPENVM LISTFILE, or the Posix ls command.
With BFSLIST you can display your files as shown below and easily manage the files (Xedit, Copy, Delete, ...).

Notes
- The BFSLIST package is part of the tools created for Redbook SG24-5148 VM/ESA Netwotk Computing with Java and NetRexx. A draft of this redbook is avalable on the WWW. It also contains a detailed description of BFSLIST.
- BFSLIST described here replaces the BFSLIST EXEC that is provided with Redbook SG24-4747 OpenEdition for VM/ESA Implementation and Administration. The other BFS related tools of this Redbook remain valuable.
