CI enhancements introduced in MPE/iX 5.5 Express 3 (C.55.03) are the following:
- The LISTF and LISTFILE commands allow users to
discover who is accessing files on their system, including remote
accessors. LISTFILE output can now be filtered by selecting
files based on access type or file code.
- Two new CI variables were added: HPLASTSPID and
HPSPOOLID. Both contain the spoolfile ID in the form:
Onnnnnnn.
- The FLABELINFO intrinsic and FINFO() function are able
to return the number of sectors and extents a file occupies, file
creation time, and the number of accessors to a file.
- The PAUSE command can now wait for one or more jobs to complete,
to change state from waiting to executing, or to begin execution.
- The INPUT command allows the number of characters to read from
$STDIN to be specified.
- The PRINT command is now able to display all data in a file,
even if this data appears to be line numbers. The new NONUM
option enables this feature.
Details for these enhancements are found in the article, "CI Enhancements in
6.0," in chapter 10, "Technical Articles."
