All non-z/VM


Abstract

Boolean value determining the format of the response to the QUERY FILE command.


Example

z/VM:

<not available>

Unix:

VM_STYLE_INDEX=1

export VM_STYLE_INDEX

Windows:

VM_STYLE_INDEX=1


Details

The sample output of QUERY FILE is normally something like this:

DEFAULT       DKIM            N/A CTL          727 2005-11-25 16:56:25

or:

DEFAULT       DKIM            N/A CTL            . .......... ........

if the file is defined but does not exist.  Note that certain files (including DKIM files) are defined implicitly by LISTSERV and do not necessarily need an explicit entry in a CATALOG or FILELIST file in order for LISTSERV to know about them.

That is the default non-z/VM query format, but customers with old z/VM scripts that utilized LISTSERV's file server functions can also choose the old z/VM query format, which results in the following sample output:

SERVICE  NAMES      ALL LMC V      65   248 05/01/13 15:17:55
DOMAIN   NAMES      ALL LMC .       0     0 ........ ........

Choosing the query format is done by setting the Boolean value VM_STYLE_INDEX in the site configuration (note that this setting centrally affects all file server commands, not just QUERY FILE).  To use the z/VM query format, set VM_STYLE_INDEX to 1. To use the default non-z/VM style format, set VM_STYLE_INDEX to 0 (or remove from, or comment out the variable in, the site configuration file).


Default Value

0
